To activate the dual mode simply press two voice selectors at the
E. PIAN
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
6
Voice (the other voice will be designated as the 2nd Voice).
The [STRINGS] [VARIATION] voice has a slow attack. This
E. PIANO 2 voice can sometimes be used with another voice in the Dual Mode to
produce a better "blend".

Other Dual Mode Functions

The Clavinova Function mode provides access to a number of other
dual-mode functions, listed below. See the corresponding pages for
details.
• The dual and split modes (CLP-880/860) cannot be engaged at the same
time.
• The [VARIATION] button indicator will light if the variation is engaged for
either or both of the dual-mode voices. While the dual mode is engaged
the [VARIATION] button can be used to turn the variation for both voices
on or off. To use the variation for only one of the voices the setting must
be made prior to engaging the dual mode.
• [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 29) you can
change the depth value for each voice as you like.
Effect depth setting via the panel controls (i.e. pressing the [-/NO] or [+/
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 [-/NO] or [+/
YES] buttons while holding the [REVERB] button — see page 18) will be
applied to the 1st Voice only.
