Yamaha P-150 1. 2.

VOICE PLAY MODE

■Dual Mode

When the P-150 is in Dual mode, you can play two voices at the same time—a

main voice and a sub voice—over the full range of the keyboard. For example, you

can blend electric piano and strings sounds together to add depth and texture to a

melody line.

You can adjust the volume balance of the Dual voices in relation to each other, as

well as detune the voices in order to enrich the sound by bringing out the individual

characteristics of each Dual voice. You can also transpose each Dual voice (for

details, see page 35).

In Dual mode, voice polyphony is

determined by the voices you select.

For example, if you select two 32-

note polyphonic voices, polyphony

will be reduced to 16 notes. If you

select a 32-note voice and a 16-note

(stereo) voice, polyphony will be

reduced to 10 notes. Likewise, if you

select two 16-note (stereo) voices,

polyphony will be reduced to 8 notes.

ENTERING AND EXITING DUAL MODE

1.Main Voice: Press and hold a [VOICE SELECT] button.

2.Sub Voice: While still holding the first button, simply press

another [VOICE SELECT] button.

The LED above each [VOICE SELECT] button lights, and those two voices

will sound when you play the keyboard.

The order that you press the buttons will determine which voice is the main

voice and which voice is the sub voice. For example, if you press and hold

[E. PIANO 3] and then press [STRINGS], the ELECTRIC PIANO 3 voice will

be the main voice, and the STRINGS voice will be the sub voice.

In Dual mode, since both voices are sounded simultaneously, the distinction

between the main voice and sub voice is not important when you play the

keyboard. However, you will want to keep it in mind when adjusting the voice

balance and detune settings, as described below.

When you select voices in Dual mode, the P-150 will apply the main voice

reverb type and depth setting and modulation type and speed setting to both

voices, and ignore any settings which you may have made for the sub voice.

Also, [PITCH] and [MODULATION] wheels apply to both voices equally, with

the values as set for the main voice.

To exit Dual mode, simply press a single [VOICE SELECT] button to return

to Single mode, or press [SPLIT] and enter Split mode.
