Combining Two Voices (Dual Mode) - Yamaha P-90 Owner's Manual

Combining Two Voices (Dual mode)

You can play two voices simultaneously across the entire range of the keyboard. In this way, you
can simulate a melody duet or combine two similar voices to create a thicker sound.

Procedure
1.
Engage Dual mode.
Press two voice buttons at the same time (or press one voice button while hold-
ing another). The voice indicators of both selected voices will light when Dual
mode is active.
• According to the voice numbering
priority shown in the diagram on
the right, the lower value voice
number will be designated as Voice
1 (the other voice will be desig-
nated as Voice 2).
The P-90 Function mode provides access to a number of other Dual mode func-
tions, such as volume balance setting or octave setting (page 37). (If you do not
set Dual mode functions, the appropriate setting will be set in each voice by
default.)

Exit Dual mode and return to normal play mode.
To return to the normal single-voice play mode, press any single voice button.

[VARIATION] in Dual Mode
The [VARIATION] button's indi-
cator will light if the variation is
engaged for either or both of the
Dual mode voices. While Dual
mode is engaged, the [VARIA-
TION] button can be used to
turn the variation for both voices
on or off.
To turn the variation on or off for
only one of the voices, hold the
voice button for the other voice
and press the button of the voice
for which you want to change
the variation.
[REVERB] in Dual Mode
The reverb type assigned to
Voice 1 will take priority over the
other. (If the reverb is set to OFF,
Voice 2 reverb type will be in
effect.) Reverb depth setting via
the panel controls (i.e., pressing
the [–/NO] or [+/YES] buttons
while holding the [REVERB] but-
ton — see page 20) will be
applied only to Voice 1.
[EFFECT] in Dual Mode
Depending on the conditions,
one effect type may take priority
over the other. Depth will be
decided according to the depth
default value of the voice combi-
nation. However, using function
F3 (page 37) you can adjust the
depth value for each voice to
your liking.
Effect depth setting via the panel
controls (i.e., pressing the [–/
NO] or [+/YES] buttons while
holding the [EFFECT] button —
see page 20) will be applied only
to Voice 1.
