After selecting “F3.Y”, press the [+/YES

▲] button to engage the dual-mode function sub-

mode, then use the [TEMPO/FUNCTION# 

▼, ▲] buttons to select the desired dual mode 

function, as listed below. 

If the Dual mode is not engaged “F3.-” will appear instead of “F3.Y” and the Dual mode 

functions cannot be selected. If this happens engage the Dual mode and proceed.

F3.1: Dual Balance ..................................................................................

The volume levels of the two voices combined in the dual mode can be adjusted as required 

by using this function. Use the [–/NO

▼] and [+/YES▲] buttons to adjust the balance as 

required. The balance range is from 0 through 20. A setting of “10” produces equal balance 
between the two dual-mode voices. Settings below “10” increase the volume of the 2nd Voice 
in relation to the 1st Voice, and settings above “10” increase the volume of the 1st Voice in 
relation to the 2nd Voice (“1st” and “2nd” is explained on page 18). Press the [–/NO

▼] and 

▲] buttons simultaneously to recall the default setting (different for each voice combi-

nation).

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

F3.2: Dual Detune ....................................................................................

This function makes it possible to detune the 1st and 2nd dual-mode Voices to create a 

thicker sound. Use the [–/NO

▼] and [+/YES▲] buttons to set the amount of detuning as 

required. The detune range is from –10 through 10. A setting of “0” sets both voices to the 
same pitch. Settings below “0” increase the pitch of the 2nd Voice in relation to the 1st Voice, 
and settings above “0” increase the pitch of the 1st Voice in relation to the 2nd Voice (“1st” 
and “2nd” is explained on page 18). Press the [–/NO

▼] and [+/YES▲] buttons simulta-

neously to recall the default setting (different for each voice combination).

F3.3: 1st Voice Octave Shift....................................................................

F3.4: 2nd Voice Octave Shift...................................................................

Depending on which voices you combine using the dual mode, the combination may sound 

better if one of the voices is shifted up or down an octave. Use the [–/NO

▼] and [+/YES▲] 

buttons to set the octave of the 1st or 2nd Voice as required (“1st” and “2nd” is explained on 
page 18). The available settings are “0” for normal pitch, “–1” to shift the pitch down one 
octave, and “1” to shift the pitch up one octave. Press the [–/NO

▼] and [+/YES▲] buttons 

simultaneously to recall the default setting (different for each voice combination).

■ SHORTCUT:  You can jump directly to the dual-mode functions (F3) by pressing the 

[TEMPO/FUNCTION#] button while holding the two dual-mode voice 
selectors.
