The Dual Mode The DUAL mode makes it possible to play two voices simultaneously across the entire range of the keyboard. To activate the DUAL mode simply press two voice selectors at the same time (or press one voice selector while holding another). The voice indicators of both selected voices will light when the DUAL mode is active. To return to the normal single-voice play mode, press any single voice selector. q Adjusting the Balance Between the Dual-mode Voices VINOVA HARPSI- ONE E.

PIANO CHORD C1 C5 The volume levels of the two voices combined in the DUAL mode are normally set automatically to produce a pleasing balance (see "Default Settings" below). The balance can be adjusted manually by using the C2 through C4 keys on the keyboard or the TEMPO [s] and [t] buttons while pressing the two voice selectors corresponding to the voices to be combined in the DUAL mode. The selected balance value (1 ... 15) will be shown on the TEMPO display until the voice selectors are released. When using the keyboard, the C3 keys produces equal balance between the two voices (a setting of "8"), while keys to the left of C3 increase the volume of the left voice in relation to the right voice, and keys to the right of C3 increase the volume of the right voice in relation to the left voice. By "left" and "right" voices we refer to the relative positions of the voice selectors - i.e. in a STRINGS/ORGAN combination STRINGS is the left voice and ORGAN is the right voice. When using the TEMPO buttons the first time either button is pressed the current balance appears on the TEMPO display, then pressing the [t] button increases the volume of the left voice in relation to the right while the [s] button has the opposite effect. Press both the [s] and [t] buttons simultaneously to instantly recall the equal-volume ("8") setting. s A setting of "1" sets the volume of the left voice to maximum and the volume of the right voice to minimum. s A setting of "8" sets both voices to the same volume. s A setting of "15" sets the volume of the right voice to maximum and the volume of the left voice to minimum. NOTE • Hold either the TEMPO [s] or [t] button for continuous scrolling in the specified direction. Depending on which voices you combine using the DUAL mode, the combination may sound better if one of the voices is shifted up an octave. To shift the right voice, press the C5 key while pressing the two voice selectors corresponding to the voices to be combined in the DUAL mode. Press C5 again to shift the voice back to its normal range. Use the C1 key in the same way to shift the left voice. Default octave settings are provided for all voice combinations, as listed in the "Default Settings" chart, below. Left voice shift up. Right voice shift up. q Slow-attack Strings CLAV PIANO 1 PIANO 2 TO ES STRINGS ORGAN In a DUAL mode voice combination using STRINGS and any other voice, it is possible to switch the STRINGS voice to a slow-attack variation when initially selecting the voices by pressing the [STRINGS] selector twice while holding the other voice selector. Repeat this operation to return to the normal STRINGS voice attack. 9
