The Dual Mode

The DUAL mode makes it possible to play two voices simultaneously across the entire range of the key-
board. To activate the DUAL mode simply press two voice selectors at the same time (or press one voice
selector while holding another). The voice indicators of both selected voices will light when the DUAL mode
is active. To return to the normal single-voice play mode, press any single voice selector.

The volume levels of the two voices combined in the DUAL mode are
normally set automatically to produce a pleasing balance (see "Default Set-
tings" below). The balance can be adjusted manually by using the C2
through C4 keys on the keyboard or the TEMPO [s] and [t] buttons
while pressing the two voice selectors corresponding to the voices to be
combined in the DUAL mode. The selected balance value (1 ... 15) will be
shown on the TEMPO display until the voice selectors are released.
When using the keyboard, the C3 keys produces equal balance between

the two voices (a setting of "8"), while keys to the left of C3 increase the
volume of the left voice in relation to the right voice, and keys to the right
of C3 increase the volume of the right voice in relation to the left voice. By
"left" and "right" voices we refer to the relative positions of the voice selec-
tors — i.e. in a STRINGS/ORGAN combination STRINGS is the left voice
and ORGAN is the right voice.
When using the TEMPO buttons the first time either button is pressed
the current balance appears on the TEMPO display, then pressing the [t]
button increases the volume of the left voice in relation to the right while
the [s] button has the opposite effect. Press both the [s] and [t] buttons
simultaneously to instantly recall the equal-volume ("8") setting.
A setting of "1" sets the volume of the left voice to maximum and the
volume of the right voice to minimum.
A setting of "8" sets both voices to the same volume.
A setting of "15" sets the volume of the right voice to maximum and the
volume of the left voice to minimum.

Depending on which voices you combine using the DUAL mode, the
combination may sound better if one of the voices is shifted up an octave.
To shift the right voice, press the C5 key while pressing the two voice se-
lectors corresponding to the voices to be combined in the DUAL mode.
Press C5 again to shift the voice back to its normal range. Use the C1 key
in the same way to shift the left voice.
Default octave settings are provided for all voice combinations, as listed
in the "Default Settings" chart, below.
In a DUAL mode voice combination using STRINGS and any other
