Playing Two Voices Simultaneously - Yamaha Portatone PSR-1100 Owner's Manual

Playing Voices

Select a voice.
For this example,
"Orchestra" is
selected.

Play the voices.
Naturally, you can play the voice yourself from the keyboard, but you can also
have the PSR-2100/1100 demonstrate the voice for you. Simply press the [8 ]
button from the display above, and a Demo of the voice plays automatically.

Playing Two Voices Simultaneously

the LAYER part on.

Press the [G] button to select the LAYER part.

Here, we'll select a lush pad to fill out the sound. Call up
the "CHOIR & PAD" group.

Play the voices.
Now, you can play two different voices together in a rich
sounding layer — the MAIN voice you selected in the
previous section, plus the new LAYER voice you've
selected here.
And that's just the beginning. Check out these other voice-related features:
• Create your own original voices — quickly and easily — by changing the settings of existing voices (page 90).
• Set up your favorite panel settings — including voices, styles, and more — and call them up whenever you need
them (page 87).
