Selecting & Playing Voices

Owner’s Manual

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.

Press two voice buttons at the same time (or press one voice button while holding 
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 desig-
nated as Voice 2).

The Function mode provides access to a number of other Dual mode functions, 
such as volume balance setting or octave setting (page 46). (If you do not set 
Dual mode functions, the appropriate setting will be set in each voice by 
default.)

To return to the normal single-voice play mode, press any single voice button.

1

The reverb type assigned to 
Voice 1 will take priority over the 
other. (If the reverb is set to OFF, 
Voice 2 reverb type will be in 
effect.)

Depending on the conditions, one 
effect type may take priority over 
the other. Depth will be decided 
according to the depth default 
value of the voice combination.

However, using function F3 (page 
46) you can adjust the depth 
value for each voice to your liking.
