You could use this mode, for example, to play a melody with a piano underscored with the sound of strings. To enter Dual mode, press the [VOICE/UTILITY] button

    Adjusting the voice balance The P-100's Dual mode is a useful feature. However, you may not always want to give the two voices equal emphasis. When playing a piano voice with strings, for example, you might want the strings to be little more than a murmur in the background, adding a delicate nuance

    ADJUSTING THE KEYBOARD Tuning the P-100 Electronic pianos have one advantage over their acoustic counterparts: they are much easier to tune. You can fine-tune the P-100's keyboard upward or downward within a range of about 100 cents. You can set the tuning to a value from -64 to 63. Each step raises

    Selecting a velocity curve Although the P-100's keyboard feels like an acoustic piano keyboard, it works on quite different principles. Since the P-100 is an electronic piano, it must determine how fast a key is being pressed - that is, the velocity of a note - in order to know how hard the note was

The first, described on the following page, sets the transpose amount for the entire keyboard in Single mode, and for the main voice in Dual and Split modes. The

    not to mention electronic pianos such as the P-100 - to communicate P100's Dual and Split modes, then you're right on target: the P-100 actually consists of a MIDI keyboard the transmission of data specific to individual devices. This sorts of messages the P-100 supports, and how their corresponding

A device with all three terminals will receive incoming data through its MIDI IN terminal, and output its own data through the MIDI OUT terminal

    - Single, Dual, and Split - are nothing more than different ways of combining these MIDI hardware elements. In Single mode, the P-100 uses only one of its two timbres. The keyboard sends MIDI channel voice messages to the tone generator to control the main voice timbre. It also outputs the same

    rather than in unison, two MIDI channels are needed to control them. For this reason, the P-100 divides its keyboard into two areas, known as the main and sub keyboard areas. Channel voice messages from the main keyboard area are sent to the main voice and output on the transmit channel (Tch) as in
