Basic Operation Quick Guide Playing Different Voices Simultaneously The advanced features of the CP300 allow you to do things and perform in ways that are simply not possible on an acoustic instrument. For example, you can play several different Voices together in a layer, or play one Voice (or even two) layered Voices with your left hand while you play a different Voice (or two) layered Voices with your right. You can make detailed settings for each Voice and combined Voice in Dual or Split. Refer to the "Detailed Settings for the Voices-Voice Edit" on page 56. Keyboard Part Combinations The CP300 lets you effectively divide the keyboard into four independent parts: Main, Layer, Left and Left Layer. Moreover, a different Voice can be assigned to each part. ■ Playing a Single Voice (Main part) (page 25) You can play a single Voice over the entire keyboard range. This is used for normal performance. Main part ■ Playing Two Voices Simultaneously (Dual) (page 29) This lets you play a unison melody with two different instruments, or combine two similar, complementary Voices to create a thicker sound. Layer part Main part ■ Playing Different Voices with Your Left and Right Hands (Split) (page 31) This allows you to play different Voices with your left and right hands. For example, you can play a bass part with your left hand, using the Wood Bass or Electric Bass Voice, and a melody on top with your right hand.
