Combining Two Voices (Dual Mode) - Yamaha ARIUS YDP-181 Owner's Manual

Combining Two Voices (Dual mode)

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.
Procedure
1.
Engage Dual mode.
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.)
2.
Exit Dual mode and return to normal play mode.
To return to the normal single-voice play mode, press any single voice button.
