You can layer two Voices and play them simultaneously to create a more richly textured sound.
1. Engage the Dual mode.
While holding down [PIANO/VOICE], simultaneously hold down two keys
between C1 and A1 to select the two desired Voices. For information on which
Voices are assigned to the keys, refer to “Voice List” (page 20).
The Voice assigned to the lower key will be designated as Voice 1, and the Voice
assigned to the higher key will be designated as Voice 2. You cannot assign the same
Voice to both Voice 1 and Voice 2 simultaneously in Dual mode.
To shift the Octave for each Voice:
While holding down [PIANO/VOICE], press one of the keys F5 – G5 or A5 – B5 as
shown in the illustration below. For example, pressing the B5 key twice while
holding down [PIANO/VOICE] shifts Voice 1 up by two octaves. To restore the
default setting, simultaneously hold down [PIANO/VOICE] and press the A#5 key
for Voice 1 or the F#5 key for Voice 2.
To adjust the Balance between two Voices:
While holding down [PIANO/VOICE], press the C5 key to decrease the value or
the D5 key to increase. When the value is set to “0,” the volume levels of the two
Voices reset to their respective default settings. Settings below “0” increase the
volume of Voice 2, while settings above “0” increase the volume of Voice 1, in
relation to the other.
2. To exit from Dual mode, press [PIANO/VOICE].
