Dual Mode Functions
After selecting “F3.Y”, press the [+/YES] button to engage the dual-mode function sub-
mode, then use the [TEMPO/FUNCTION# ,] buttons to select the desired dual mode
function, as listed below.
If the Dual mode is not engaged “F3.-” will appear instead of “F3.Y” and the Dual mode
functions cannot be selected. If this happens engage the Dual mode and proceed.
SHORTCUT: You can jump directly to the dual-mode functions (F3) by pressing the
[FUNCTION] button while holding the two dual-mode voice selectors.
NOTE
Dual mode function settings are set individually for each voice combination.
F3.1: Dual Balance.....................................................................................................................................
The volume levels of the two voices combined in the dual mode can be adjusted as required by
using this function. Use the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons to adjust the balance as required. The
balance range is from 0 through 20. A setting of “10” produces equal balance between the two dual-
mode voices. Settings below “10” increase the volume of the 2nd Voice in relation to the 1st Voice,
and settings above “10” increase the volume of the 1st Voice in relation to the 2nd Voice (“1st” and
“2nd” is explained on page 15). Press the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons simultaneously to recall
the default setting (different for each voice combination).
You can set one voice as the main voice, and another voice as a softer, mixed voice.
F3.2: Dual Detune .......................................................................................................................................
This function makes it possible to detune the 1st and 2nd dual-mode Voices to create a thicker
sound. Use the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons to set the amount of detuning as required. The
detune range is from –10 through 10. A setting of “0” sets both voices to the same pitch. Settings
below “0” increase the pitch of the 2nd Voice in relation to the 1st Voice, and settings above “0”
increase the pitch of the 1st Voice in relation to the 2nd Voice (“1st” and “2nd” is explained on page
15). Press the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons simultaneously to recall the default setting (different
for each voice combination).
F3.3: 1st Voice Octave Shift ............................................................................................................
F3.4: 2nd Voice Octave Shift ..........................................................................................................
Depending on which voices you combine using the dual mode, the combination may sound better
if one of the voices is shifted up or down an octave. Use the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons to set
the octave of the 1st or 2nd Voice as required (“1st” and “2nd” is explained on page 15). The avail-
able settings are “0” for normal pitch, “–1” to shift the pitch down one octave, and “1” to shift the
pitch up one octave. Press the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons simultaneously to recall the default
setting (different for each voice combination).
