While holding down Press

1. While holding down the [GRAND PIANO] button, press the [STRINGS] button.

The indicators on the two TONE buttons you have pressed will light, and both of the Tones will be heard when you play the keyboard.

In this way, you can hold down one TONE button and press another TONE button to layer two sounds for playing together.

2. To cancel the Dual Play, press any TONE button.

When you play the keyboard, only the sound of the button you pressed will be heard.

You can adjust the volume balance between the two selected tones in Dual Play.
