ENGLISH 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 MASTER VOLUME MIN MAX MELLOW BRILLIANCE BRIGHT DEMO START/ STOP TEMPO/ FUNCTION# FUNCTION METRONOME - / NO + / YES TEMPO/ OTHER VALUE PRESET TRACK START/ STOP REC SONG ROOM CHORUS HALL 1 PHASER HARD HALL 2 TREMOLO MEDIUM STAGE DELAY SOFT ON GRAND GRAND E.

(If you do not set Dual mode functions, the appropriate setting will be set in each voice by default.) 2. Exit Dual mode and return to normal play mode. To return to the normal single-voice play mode, press any single voice button. Dual and Split (page 24) modes cannot be engaged at the same time. [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. [REVERB] in Dual Mode The reverb type 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.) Reverb depth setting via the panel controls (i.e., pressing the [-/NO] or [+/YES] buttons while holding the [REVERB] button - see page 20) will be applied only to Voice 1. [EFFECT] in Dual Mode Depending on the conditions, one effect type may take priority over the other. Depth will be decided according to the depth default value of the voice combination. However, using function F3 (page 37) you can adjust the depth value for each voice to your liking. Effect depth setting via the panel controls (i.e., pressing the [-/ NO] or [+/YES] buttons while holding the [EFFECT] button - see page 20) will be applied only to Voice 1.
