VOICE PLAY MODE
As you move the [DATA ENTRY] slider, the DUAL DETUNE screen appears.
You can set the detune to any value between 0 (no detuning) and 7
(maximum detuning). Moving the slider upwards increases the detune value.
Conversely, moving the slider downwards decreases the detune value.

Release the [DETUNE] button.
After a moment, the Dual voice names will reappear in the screen.
If you select different Dual voices, the detune relationship will remain the
same as determined above, until you change the detune setting again.
Main and Sub Voice Detune Relationship
When you detune two voices in Dual mode, the main voice is raised above the
keyboards standard pitch by a certain amount and the sub voice is lowered below
the keyboards standard pitch by an equal amount. The result is that the individual
characteristics of each Dual voice are emphasized. The amount of pitch
adjustment depends on the value you select. At the maximum detune setting, the
voices are each detuned by about one-third of a semitone.
Split Mode
When the P-150 is in Split mode, you can play two voices at the same timeone
voice on the left side of the keyboard, and another voice on the right side of the
keyboard. For example, you can play a strings pad with one hand, while playing a
piano melody with the other; or you can play an electric bass line with your left
hand, while playing an organ riff with your right hand.
The two voices you play in Split mode are referred to as the main and sub voices.
These voices are assigned to separate areas of the keyboard, known as the main
and sub keyboard areas, which are separated at a specific key known as the split
point.
You can determine the split point and assign the main and sub voices to either end
of the keyboard. You can also adjust the volume balance of the two voices in
relation to each other (for details, see page 30.)
In this case you cannot use the
[1/NO] and [+1/YES] buttons to
change data.
