Voice polyphony
As the table above shows, the P-100 produces 32 notes of polyphonic sound for seven of its
voices. For convenience, we will refer to these voices as
32-note
voices.
The remaining three voices can produce only 16 simultaneous notes. The first voice, PIANO
1, is a stereo voice, created using stereo sampling techniques. If you wish, however, you can switch it to mono
(for 32 notes output) by pressing and holding the [PIANO l] button for a few moments. When you do so, the
following display will appear briefly:
This display indicates that PIANO 1 has been switched to mono mode. This voice will remain in mono mode
even if you select a different voice and come back to it (although the P32 display will not reappear). To switch it
back to stereo mode, press and hold the [PIANO l] button again. The display below will appear briefly.
The voice is also switched to stereo mode automatically each time you turn on the power to the P- 100.
The other two voices, CLAVINOVA TONE and VIBES, are actually layered sounds which combine two
different tones in a single voice. They can produce a maximum of 16 simultaneous notes, and so are known
(together with the PIANO 1 voice in stereo mode) as
16-note
voices.
