Playing Two Voices - Dual Voice - Yamaha Portatone PSR-340 Owner's Manual

PLAYING VOICES — THE VOICE MODE
PLAYING TWO VOICES — DUAL VOICE
The Dual Voice mode lets you create richly textured sounds by "layering"
two different voices together — one voice being the Main voice selected in
the normal way (page 27), and the other a Dual voice selected as described
below.
1
Turn on the Dual Voice mode.
Press the DUAL button.
When you play the keyboard, both the currently selected Main and Dual
voices will be heard.
To turn the Dual mode off, press the DUAL
button again.
2
Select the desired Dual voice and make other set-
tings for the voice (if desired) in the Function mode.
To do this, first call up the Function mode by pressing the FUNCTION
button.
3
Select the desired Function parameter number.
While the "FUNCTION" indication is flashing, use the numeric keypad to
select the desired Dual Voice Function parameter number (11 - 18). Actual
selection of the Dual voice is made from parameter #17. (See the "Param-
eters" list below for details.)
Function parameter numbers can be selected in the same way as with the
voices (see page 28) — with the numeric keypad, +/- keys, or the FUNC-
TION button.

The Dual Voice mode can
also be turned on and off
with a connected
footswitch. (See page 100.)
• Since the "FUNCTION"
indication flashes for only a
couple of seconds, make
sure to select the parameter
quickly after step 2 above.
• For the Dual voice to be
heard properly, make sure
to:
* Select a different voice
(#17, Dual Voice).
* Set the volume to an
appropriate level (#11, Dual
Volume).
