Selecting & Playing Voices Combining Two Voices (Dual mode) You can play two voices simultaneously across the entire range of the keyboard. In this way, you can simulate a melody duet or combine two similar voices to create a thicker sound. 12 ENGLISH Operation 1 Engage Dual mode. Press two voice buttons at the same time (or press one voice button while holding another). The voice indicators of both selected voices will light when Dual mode is active. • According to the voice numbering priority shown in the diagram on the right, the lower value voice number will be designated as Voice 1 (the other voice will be designated as Voice 2). 1 2 3 4 5 Voice numbering priority 6 7 8 9 10 You can make the following settings for Voices 1 and 2 in Dual: Dual Balance You can set one voice as the main voice, and another voice as a softer, mixed voice. While holding down the [METRONOME] button, press one of the F#5-F#6 keys (see Quick Operation Guide). The current balance setting appears on the display while both controls are held. A setting of "0" produces an equal balance between the two Dual mode voices. Settings below "0" increase the volume of Voice 2 in relation to Voice 1, and settings above "0" increase the volume of Voice 1 in relation to Voice 2. Octave Shift You can shift the pitch up and down in octave steps for Voice 1 and Voice 2 independently. Depending on which voices you combine in Dual mode, the combination may sound better if one of the voices is shifted up or down an octave. While holding down the [METRONOME] button, press one of the A4-D5 keys (see Quick Operation Guide). The current Octave Shift setting appears on the display while both controls are held.

TERMINOLOGY Mode: A mode is an operating condition of the instrument that allows you to perform some special function. In the Dual mode, for example, you can play two voices simultaneously across the entire range of the keyboard. NOTE Dual and Split (page 32) modes cannot be engaged at the same time. TIP [VARIATION] in Dual Mode The [VARIATION] button's indicator will light if the variation is engaged for either or both of the Dual mode voices. While Dual mode is engaged, the [VARIATION] button can be used to turn the variation for both voices on or off. To turn the variation on or off for only one of the voices, hold the voice button for the other voice and press the button of the voice for which you want to change the variation. TERMINOLOGY Normal setting: Balance will be decided according to the balance default value of the voice combination. TIP [REVERB] in Dual Mode The Reverb Type (page 35) assigned to Voice 1 will take priority over the other. (If the reverb is set to OFF, Voice 2 Reverb Type will be in effect.) TERMINOLOGY Normal setting: Octave will be decided according to the octave default value of the voice combination. TERMINOLOGY Normal setting: F2 The Voice 2 Reverb Depth is determined according to the default Voice 2 Reverb Depth value for the voice. F11/F01 Owner's Manual 31
