Owner's Manual

The Dual Mode
The dual mode makes it possible to play two voices simultaneously across the entire range of the keyboard. 

To activate the dual mode simply press two voice selectors at the same time (or press one voice selector while holding another). The voice indicators of both selected voices will light when the dual mode is active. To return to the normal single-voice play mode, press any single voice selector.
According to the voice numbering priority as shown in the diagram on the left, lower valued voice numbers will be designated as the 1st Voice (the other voice will be designated as the 2nd Voice).
NOTE
The dual and split modes cannot be engaged at the same time.
[EFFECT] in the Dual Mode
Depending upon the conditions one effect type will take priority over the other. Depth will be decided according to the depth default value of the voice combination. However, using function F3 (see page 30) you can change the depth value for each voice as you like.
Effect depth setting via the panel controls (i.e. pressing the [minus/NO] or [plus/YES] buttons while holding the [EFFECT] button - see page 19) will be applied to the 1st Voice only.
[REVERB] in the Dual Mode
The reverb type assigned to the 1st Voice will take priority over the other. (If the reverb is set to OFF, the 2nd Voice's reverb type will be in affect.) 
Reverb depth setting via the panel controls (i.e. pressing the [minus/NO] or [plus/YES] buttons while holding the [REVERB] button - see page 18) will be applied to the 1st Voice only.

The Split Mode
The split mode makes it possible to play two different voices on the keyboard - one with the left hand and another with the right hand. The Left Voice is played on all keys to the left of (and including) a specified "split point" key, while the Right Voice is played on all keys to the right of the split point key. 
To activate the split mode simply press the [SPLIT] button so that its indicator lights. The split mode can be turned off at any time by pressing the [SPLIT] button again so that its indicator goes out.
NOTE
The dual and split modes cannot be engaged at the same time.

Selecting the Right and Left Voices
The voice that was selected before the split mode was engaged becomes the Right Voice in the split mode. (The Right Voice can also be changed while in the split mode, by simply pressing the corresponding voice selector.) 
To select a Left Voice press the corresponding voice selector while holding the [SPLIT] button (default: [WOOD BASS]). The indicator of the Left Voice selector will light while the [SPLIT] button is pressed, then only the Right Voice selector and [SPLIT] button indicators will remain lit.

NOTE
[EFFECT] in the Split Mode
Depending upon the conditions, one effect type will take priority over the other. Depth will be decided according to the depth default value of the voice combination. However, using function F4 (see page 31) you can change the depth value for each voice as you like.
Effect depth setting via the panel controls (i.e. pressing the [minus/NO] or [plus/YES] buttons while holding the [EFFECT] button - see page 19) will be applied to the Right Voice only.
[REVERB] in the Split Mode
The reverb type assigned to the Right Voice will take priority over the other. (If the reverb is set to OFF, the Left Voice's reverb type will be in affect.) 
Reverb depth setting via the panel controls (i.e. pressing the [minus/NO] or [plus/YES] buttons while holding the [REVERB] button - see page 18) will be applied to the Right Voice only.

Setting the Split Point
The split point is initially set at the F sharp 2 key by default. You can change the split point to any other key by pressing the key while holding the [SPLIT] button (the name of the current split-point key appears on the LED display while the [SPLIT] button is held). The split point can also be set via the Function mode (see below).
