Voices
By slightly increasing/decreasing the value of the
"Detune" parameter for one Part after assigning
synthesizer Voices to Parts 1 and 2, you can create
a powerful lead synthesizer sound. Experiment with
other Voices and the Detune parameter (called up
as described below) to create other warm, organic
sounds.

Playing separate Voices with your
left and right hands (Split)
This function lets you play different Voices with your left
and right hands. To use this, assign the Voice for Part 1 to
the right part of the keyboard, and Voice for Part 2 to the
left. The point (or key) at which the keyboard is split
between left and right parts is called the "Split Point." You
can freely set the Split Point to any desired key.

Changing the octave range for a Part
It may be musically useful to change the pitch of the
Split Part—for example, setting it to a higher or lower
octave. To do this, set the "NoteShift" parameter for
the Part to +12 or -12. You can change the pitch of
the Part in semitone steps. You can call up NoteShift
as follows.
