The Dual Mode
● Adjusting the Balance Be-
tween the Dual-mode Voices
The volume levels of the two voices combined in the DUAL mode are
normally set automatically to produce a pleasing balance (see “Default Set-
tings” below). The balance can be adjusted manually by using the C2
through C4 keys on the keyboard while pressing the two voice selectors cor-
responding to the voices to be combined in the DUAL mode.
The C3 key produces equal (50:50) balance between the two voices, while
keys to the left of C3 increase the volume of the left voice in relation to the
right voice, and keys to the right of C3 increase the volume of the right voice
in relation to the left voice. By “left” and “right” voice we refer to the rela-
tive positions of the voice selectors — i.e. in a STRINGS/ORGAN combina-
tion STRINGS is the left voice and ORGAN is the right voice.
Depending on which voices you combine using the DUAL mode, the com-
bination may sound better if one of the voices is shifted up an octave. To
shift the right voice, press the C5 key while pressing the two voice selectors
corresponding to the voices to be combined in the DUAL mode. Press C5
again to shift the voice back to its normal range. Use the C1 key in the same
way to shift the left voice.
Default octave settings are provided for all voice combinations, as listed in
the “Default Settings” chart, below.
In a DUAL mode voice combination using STRINGS and any other voice,
it is possible to switch the STRINGS voice to a slow-attack variation when
initially selecting the voices by pressing the [STRINGS] selector twice while
holding the other voice selector.
Press the C7 key while holding any two voice selectors to memorize all
balance, STRINGS voice attack variation, and octave shift settings made
since the power was turned on. The memorized settings will be retained in
memory for about one week after the power is turned off, then the default
settings will be restored. To keep the memorized settings for longer periods,
turn the power on briefly at least once a week.
If these settings are not memorized as described above, they are retained in
memory only until the Clavinova is turned off.
The DUAL mode makes it possible to play two voices simultaneously across the entire range of the key-
board. To activate the DUAL mode simply press two voice selectors at the same time (or press one voice
selector while holding another). The voice indicators of both selected voices will light when the DUAL mode
is active. To return to the normal single-voice play mode, press any single voice selector.
