Combining Voices (Dual)
You can play voices simultaneously across the entire range of the keyboard. In this way, you can
combine similar voices to create a thicker sound.
1. Press two voice buttons at the same time (or press
one voice button while holding another) to engage
Dual.
The voice indicators of both selected voices will light when Dual is active.
Play the keyboard.
If you want to use a voice selected via the [OTHERS] button, press the [OTHERS]
button several times to call up the desired voice (other than “SPLIT”) while
holding any other VOICE button.
According to the voice numbering priority shown in the diagram below, the
lower value voice number will be designated as Voice 1 (the other voice will be
designated as Voice 2).
The P-140 Function provides access to a number of other Dual functions, such
as volume balance setting and octave setting (pages 37, 41). (If you do not set
the Dual functions, the appropriate setting will be set in each voice by default.)
2. Press any single voice button to return to the nor-
mal single-voice play.

Two voices in the [OTHERS] but-
ton cannot be engaged at the
same time.
Dual is not available when
“SPLIT” is selected via the
[OTHER] button.
The PIANO & STRINGS voice
combines the sounds of piano
and strings. Pressing the
[PIANO&STRINGS] button will
produce the same result as Dual.
You can combine other voices
with this voice; however, keep in
mind that the sound may cut off
unnaturally.
