Performing
You can play two different tones from a single key at the same time. This method of
performance is called “Dual Play.”
As an example, let’s try layering piano and strings sounds.
fig.Panel-ToneSelect.eps
When the [Registration] button is lit, Tone buttons ([1]–[6]) can be pressed to select registrations.
If you want to select a tone, press the [Registration] button to turn off its light.
1.
Hold down the [Piano] button and press the [Strings/Pad] button.
The indicators for both buttons light.
Try fingering the keyboard. Both the piano and strings sounds play.
Pressing two Tone buttons at the same time in this manner activates Dual Play.
Of these two selected tones, the one for the Tone button you pressed first is called the “Upper
Tone,” and the one for the Tone button you pressed after that is called the “Lower Tone.”
The display will show the tone number of the upper tone.
fig.d-1.eps
Here, the piano tone is the Upper Tone and the strings tone is the Lower Tone.
Turning Off Dual Play
1.
Press any one of the Tone buttons.
Now you’ll hear only the tone of the button you pressed.
You can change the pitch of the Lower Tone an octave at a time. Refer to “Changing
the Pitch of the Lower Tone in Octave Steps (Octave Shift)” (p. 87).
You can vary the volume-level balance of the two tones. Take a look at “Changing the
Volume Balance for Dual Play and Split Play” (p. 34).
You can select the part that will take priority for effects if the Upper tone and Lower
tone have different effect settings when you’re using Dual play. Refer to “Setting the
Part to Which Effects Are Added” (p. 84).
