The Dual Voice Mode

When the DUAL VOICE mode is engaged you can play two voices (the R1 and R2
voices) simultaneously across the entire keyboard.
The DUAL VOICE mode is turned on and off by pressing the [DUAL VOICE]
button. When the DUAL VOICE mode is turned on both R1 and R2 icons in the display
will light. Press the [DUAL VOICE] button a second time to turn the DUAL VOICE
mode off: the R2 icon in the display will go out leaving only the R1 icon lit.
