Dual Mode
The DUAL mode makes it possible to play two
voices simultaneously across the entire range of
the keyboard. This makes it easy to create excep-
tionally rich, thick tonal textures.
Engaging the Dual Mode
Dual-mode Voice Balance
The volume balance between the two voices combined in the DUAL mode can
be adjusted by using the TEMPO [] and [] buttons while pressing both of the
active voice selectors. The selected balance value (1 … 15) will be shown on the
TEMPO display while the voice selectors and TEMPO [] or [] buttons are
held.
A setting of “1” sets the volume of the lowest-numbered voice to maximum and
the highest-numbered voice to minimum (no sound).
A setting of “8” sets both voices to the same volume (this is the default balance
setting, and can be recalled by pressing the TEMPO [] and [] buttons si-
multaneously).
A setting of “15” sets the volume of the highest-numbered voice to maximum
and the lowest-numbered voice to minimum (no sound).
NOTES
The TEMPO [
] and [
] buttons allow two-speed scrolling: press lightly to scroll
through the values slowly, or press firmly to scroll rapidly.
The dual mode cannot be used when the DRUMS voice is selected. Also, the
dual and split modes cannot be used at the same time.
To engage the DUAL mode simply press two voice selectors at the same time
— or press one voice selector while holding another. A voice in the 13…60 range
can be “dualed” with the panel voices by pressing the [VOICE 13-60] button and
any other voice selector at the same time (two voices in the 13…60 range cannot be
combined). The [s] and [t] buttons can then be used to select the desired 13…60
voice. The higher voice number will appear on the TEMPO display during selec-
tion.
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 se-
lector.
