Playing Different Voices Simultaneously - Yamaha CP300 Owner's Manual

Playing Different Voices Simultaneously

The advanced features of the CP300 allow you to do things and perform in ways that are simply not possible
on an acoustic instrument. For example, you can play several different Voices together in a layer, or play one
Voice (or even two) layered Voices with your left hand while you play a different Voice (or two) layered Voices
with your right.
You can make detailed settings for each Voice and combined Voice in Dual or Split. Refer to the "Detailed
Settings for the Voices—Voice Edit" on page 56.
Keyboard Part Combinations
The CP300 lets you effectively divide the keyboard into four independent parts: Main, Layer, Left and Left
Layer. Moreover, a different Voice can be assigned to each part.
Playing a Single Voice (Main part) (page 25)
You can play a single Voice over the entire keyboard range. This is used for normal performance.
Playing Two Voices Simultaneously (Dual) (page 29)
This lets you play a unison melody with two different instruments, or combine two similar, complementary
Voices to create a thicker sound.
Playing Different Voices with Your Left and Right Hands (Split) (page 31)
This allows you to play different Voices with your left and right hands. For example, you can play a bass
part with your left hand, using the Wood Bass or Electric Bass Voice, and a melody on top with your right
hand.

Main parts) (pages 29, 31)
