The Dual Mode; Other Dual Mode Functions - Yamaha P-80 Owner's Manual

The Dual Mode

The dual mode makes it possible to play two voices simultaneously across
the entire range of the keyboard.
To activate the dual mode simply press two voice selectors at the
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 right, lower valued voice numbers will be desig-
nated as the 1st Voice (the other voice will be designated as the 2nd
Voice).
The [STRINGS] [VARIATION] voice has a slow attack. This
voice can sometimes be used with another voice in the Dual Mode
to produce a better "blend".
• The dual and split modes cannot be engaged at the same time.
NOTE
• 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 28)
you can change the depth value for each voice as you like.
Effect depth setting via the panel controls the [–/NO
buttons while holding the [EFFECT] button — see page 18) 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 [–/
M
NO ] or [+/YES
see page 17) will be applied to the 1st Voice only.
