The Dual Voice Mode

When the DUAL VOICE mode is engaged you can play two voices (the R1 and R2 voices) simultaneously across the entire keyboard.

The DUAL VOICE mode is turned on and off by pressing the [DUAL VOICE] button. When the DUAL VOICE mode is turned on both R1 and R2 icons in the display will light. Press the [DUAL VOICE] button a second time to turn the DUAL VOICE mode off: the R2 icon in the display will go out leaving only the R1 icon lit.

The R1/R2 voice set- tings can be changed as required by using the REVOICE func- tion, described on page 78.

The R1 voice cannot be turned off.

The DUAL VOICE mode can be used at the same time as the SPLIT VOICE mode, described below. In this case the L voice is played on the left- hand section of the keyboard while both the R1 and R2 voices are played on the right-hand section of the keyboard. See the “The Split Voice Mode” section, below, for more information.
