Selecting Split Voices - Yamaha P-150 Owner's Manual

SELECTING SPLIT VOICES

Main Voice: Press a [VOICE SELECT] button.
1.
When you press the [SPLIT] button to enter Split mode, the voice you were
playing in Single mode (or the main voice you were playing in Dual mode)
will be assigned by default to the main keyboard area.
To change the main voice, simply press any [VOICE SELECT] button, the
same as you would in Single mode.

Sub Voice: Hold the [SPLIT] button and press a [VOICE SELECT] button.
Note that you can assign the same voice to both main and sub keyboard
areas. This is useful in such cases where you want to use the same voice on
each end of the keyboard, but with different Transpose settings (for details,
see page 33), or at different volume balance levels.

You'll find it convenient that the procedure for selecting voices is separate
from that for entering and leaving Split mode, since this lets you switch the
sub keyboard area on and off as needed. For example, you can play the
main voice in Single Play mode (or Dual voices) across the entire keyboard
during a song's verse and chorus, then switch into Split mode to add the sub
voice for an intricate two-part solo, then switch the Split mode off to play
remaining verses and choruses.
ADJUSTING THE BALANCE OF THE SPLIT VOICES
1.
Hold the [BALANCE] button and move the [DATA ENTRY] slider.
As you move the [DATA ENTRY] slider, the SPLIT BALANCE screen appears.
