Dual Mode; Adjusting The Volume Balance - Kawai KCP90 Owner's Manual

Dual Mode

The Dual Mode function allows two sounds to be layered together, creating a more complex sound.
For example, a piano sound layered with strings, or a church organ combined with a choir, etc.
Entering Dual mode
Press and hold a SOUND button to select the first sound, then press
another SOUND button to select the second (layered) sound.
The LED indicators for both buttons will turn on to indicate
that the two sounds have been selected, and their names will
be shown in the LCD display.
The sound assigned to the button that is pressed first will be
shown on the top line.
First sound
Concert Grand
Beautiful Strings
Second (layered) sound
For example, to layer a piano sound with strings, first press and
hold the PIANO button, then press the STRINGS button.
Changing layered sounds
Press and hold the first SOUND button, then press the second
SOUND button repeatedly to select the other sounds assigned
to that button.
For example, to change the layered 'Beautiful Strings' sound to
'Warm Strings 2', first press and hold the PIANO button, then
press the STRINGS button repeatedly until 'Warm Strings 2' is
shown on the bottom line of the LCD display.

simultaneously (192-note polyphony). However, when Dual mode
is active the maximum polyphony will be halved, as two sounds are
produced for each note.
* If ACC is turned on and the Lower Section Mode setting is set to 'Play',
Dual mode will automatically revert to the first selected sound. Please
refer to page 28 for more information.
