Main operations

Playing two sounds at a time (“Dual”)

It is also possible to play two Tones simultaneously (something we like to call “Dual mode”). A popular combination is piano with strings, but feel free to try out other combinations.

A

B

C

1.Hold down the Tone button of the ﬁrst sound you wish to use while pressing the Tone button of the sound you want to add.

This only works for Tones that can be accessed via the front panel (i.e. not for the “second” Tone set whose names are printed below the keys).

You can also modify the balance of the two Tones:

2.Simultaneously press [Demo] and [Reverb] to enter Function mode (both indicators ﬂash).

3.Press the “G7” or “G#7” key.

Right sound louder

Left sound louder

Press the white “G7” key to increase the volume of the Tone assigned to the “left button” ([Piano1] in the above example).

Press the black “G#7” key to increase the volume of the Tone assigned to the “right button” ([Strings] in the above example).

4.Press [Demo] and [Reverb] again to leave the HP-1’s Function mode.

Note: You have to leave Function mode in order to hear what you are playing.
