Detuning the voices The voice detune setting allows you to detune two voices slightly with respect to one another when playing them in Dual mode. This is especially useful when playing two similar voices, such as two piano sounds, together in Dual mode. By detuning the voices, you can produce a richer sound that will bring out the characteristics of the dual voices. To detune two voices, move the [DATA ENTRY] slider while holding down the [DETUNE] button. You can set a detune value from 0 to 7. With a value of 0, the voices are played at the same pitch; a value of 7 produces maximum detune. When you have selected the desired detune setting, release the [DETUNE] button. The P-100 will display the new setting for about a second, then exit the function automatically. What happens when you detune voices When you detune two voices in Dual mode, the main voice is raised above the keyboard's standard pitch by a certain amount, whereas the sub voice is lowered by an equal amount. The amount of pitch adjustment depends on the value you select, as shown in the following table. (Pitch adjustment values in the table are given in cents.) DETUNE SETTING VOICE 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 MAIN 0 +1.56 +3.12 +4.68 +6.24 +8.58 +11.70 +15.60 SUB 0 -1.56 -3.12 -4.68 -6.24 -8.58 -11.70 -15.60 At the maximum detune setting. the voices are each detuned by about one-sixth of a semitone. 14
