19 ENGLISH Layering Two Voices (Dual mode) You can layer two voices and play them simultaneously to create a thicker and more supple sound. Procedure 1. Engage Dual mode. While holding down the [PIANO/VOICE] button, press two keys in the range of C1 through F1 simultaneously to select the two desired voices. Alternatively, while holding down the [PIANO/VOICE] button, press and hold down one key, then press another. Refer to "Selecting & Playing Voices" on page 18 for information on the voices that are assigned to the keys. The lowest key C1 F1 You cannot assign the same voice to Voice 1 and Voice 2 simultaneously in Dual mode. Reverb in Dual Mode The reverb type assigned to Voice 1 will take priority. (If the reverb assigned to Voice 1 is set to OFF, the reverb assigned to Voice 2 will be in effect.) The reverb depth setting (page 20) will be applied only to Voice 1. The voice assigned to the lower key will be designated as Voice 1, and the voice assigned to the higher key will be designated as Voice 2. You can make the following settings for Voices 1 and 2 in Dual mode: Setting the Octave 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 [PIANO/VOICE] button, press one of the C5-F5 keys. C5 F5 For setting The highest key the octave. (C5-F5) C5 key: -1 (Voice 1), C 5 key: 0 (Voice 1), D5 key: +1(Voice 1), D 5 key: -1 (Voice 2), E5 key: 0 (Voice 2), F5 key: +1(Voice 2) Setting the Balance You can adjust the volume balance between two voices. For example, you can set one voice as the main voice with a louder setting, and make the other voice softer. While holding down the [PIANO/VOICE] button, press one of the F 5-F 6 keys. A setting of "0" produces an equal balance between the two Dual mode voices. Settings below "0" increases the volume of Voice 2 in relation to Voice 1, and settings above "0" increases the volume of Voice 1 in relation to Voice 2.
