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.

Adjusting the Balance Between the Dual-mode Voices ... 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 while pressing the two voice selectors corresponding to the voices to be combined in the DUAL mode. The C3 key produces equal (50:50) balance between the two voices, 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" voice we refer to the relative positions of the voice selectors - i.e. in a HARPSICHORD/PIPE ORGAN combination HARPSICHORD is the left voice and PIPE ORGAN is the right voice. q Default Settings Voice Combinations Balance keys PIANO/PIPE ORGAN E2 CLAVINOVA TONE/PIPE ORGAN ..........

Shifting a Dual-Mode Voice Up One Octave 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. All voice combinations are set to the same octave by default. 7
