THE DUAL PLAY
MODE
e
Assigning Dual-mode Voices
and Setting Detune
You can now select a new voice for the upper section of the keyboard: select the
desired voice bank using the PRESET or USER buttons, then use the -1 and +1 or
number (0 through 9) buttons to select a voice as described in "Selecting Voices"
on page 7.
After selecting a new upper voice, press the SPLIT button again to move ahead to
the split point display:
Assign SPLIT mode split point.
PLAY SPLIT point
point = C3
Current split point key.
Immediately after this display appears you can select the desired split point by
pressing the corresponding key on the DS55 keyboard. This method can only be
used once after the split point display has been selected. Further changes to the
split point can be made by using the -1 and +1 buttons.
Press the SPLIT button again to return to the first SPLIT PLAY display. The voice
and split point assignments are stored in the DS55's memory, and will be recalled
whenever you enter the SPLIT PLAY mode from any other mode — until new
assignments are made.
The DUAL PLAY mode allows you to combine and play two voices from any of the
DS55 voice banks across the entire keyboard. You can also specify an amount of
"detune" between the two voices used, creating a thicker, distinctly ''multi-instru-
ment" sound. Up to 4 notes can be played simultaneously in the DUAL PLAY
mode.
Press the DUAL button in the PLAY MODE group to enter the DUAL PLAY mode.
