Selecting & Playing Voices

F11/F01 Owner’s Manual31

Combining Two Voices (Dual mode)

You can play two voices simultaneously across the entire range of the keyboard. In this way, you can simulate a melody

duet or combine two similar voices to create a thicker sound.

1Engage Dual mode.

Press two voice buttons at the same time (or press one voice button while hold-

ing another). The voice indicators of both selected voices will light when Dual

mode is active.

•According to the voice numbering priority shown in the diagram on the

right, the lower value voice number will be designated as Voice 1 (the other

voice will be designated as Voice 2).

You can make the following settings for Voices 1 and 2 in Dual:

Dual Balance

You can set one voice as the main voice, and another voice as a softer, mixed voice.

While holding down the [METRONOME] button, press one of the F

5-F

6 keys (see

Quick Operation Guide). The current balance setting appears on the display while

both controls are held. A setting of “0” produces an equal balance between the two

Dual mode voices. Settings below “0” increase the volume of Voice 2 in relation to

Voice 1, and settings above “0” increase the volume of Voice 1 in relation to Voice 2.

Octave Shift

You can shift the pitch up and down in octave steps for Voice 1 and Voice 2 inde-

pendently. Depending on which voices you combine in Dual mode, the combi-

nation may sound better if one of the voices is shifted up or down an octave.

While holding down the [METRONOME] button, press one of the A4-D5 keys

(see Quick Operation Guide). The current Octave Shift setting appears on the

display while both controls are held.

Voice 2 Reverb Depth (F11)

(see Quick Operation Guide). The current Reverb Depth setting appears on the

display while both controls are held.
