Playing the keyboard with two persons (Duo mode)
When the Duo mode is activated on this instrument, two different players can play the
instrument simultaneously, with the same sound, over the same octave range—one per-
son on the left and the other on the right. This is useful for learning applications, in
which one person (a teacher, for example) plays a model performance and the other
person watches and practices while sitting at the first person’s side.
1
Press a [FUNCTION] button several
times until the “DuoMode” (Function
048; page 55) item appears on the dis-
play.
2
Use the [+/YES] button to select “on.”
The F#3 key becomes the Duo Split Point and the
keyboard is divided into two sections: one for the
left Voice and one for the right Voice.
3
One person should play the left Voice
section of the keyboard while the other
plays the right Voice section.
4
To exit from Duo mode, select “oFF” via
“DuoMode” (Function 048; page 55) by
executing steps 1 and 2.
Changing the Left Voice
To change only the Left Voice, select the desired
Left Voice with “DuoLVc” (Function 049; page 55).
If the Left Voice is different from the Right Voice,
the Right Voice is shown on the display.
How sounds are output in the Duo mode
The performance sound of the left Voice will
sound from the left speaker, and the performance
sound of the right Voice will sound from the right
speaker, in the initial Duo mode setting. This out-
put setting can be changed from the “DuoType”
setting (Function 055; page 55).
Using sustain in the Duo mode
Sustain can be applied to the left and right Voice
sections in Duo mode just as it normally is by
using one of the following methods in the Duo
mode like the usual mode.
• Press the foot switch (page 14) connected to
the [SUSTAIN] jack.
• Set “Sustain” (Function 024; page 53) to on.
Sustain is applied to all notes.
• The right Voice section and the left Voice section of the
keyboard are both set to the same Voice (Main Voice).
• The Duo Split Point can be changed via Function number
050 (page 55) by holding down the [ACMP ON/OFF] but-
ton for longer than a second.

NOTE
• Certain functions such as Lesson, Harmony/Arpeggio
and Dual cannot be used in the Duo mode.
• In the Duo mode, the pan, volume and tonal characteris-
tics of the stereo sound may differ from those in the nor-
mal mode, due to the setting of DuoType = “Separate”
(page 55). Particularly with Drum Kits, the difference may
be more obvious, since each key of a Drum Kit features a
different stereo pan position.
• Sustain cannot be applied independently to the left Voice
section and the right Voice section.
• While Sustain is on, the setting of hold is maintained even
when the power is turned off.
