Touch Response; Dual Voice - Yamaha PortaTone PSR-520 Owner's Manual

This function turns the touch response of the keyboard ON or OFF. Use the
KEYBOARD [TOUCH RESPONSE] button to turn TOUCH RESPONSE ON
or OFF as required. The touch-response icon will appear next to "TOUCH" in
the display when TOUCH RESPONSE is turned ON. The actual touch re-
sponse sensitivity of the keyboard can be adjusted via the "TouchSns" function
in the OVERALL function group (page 69). When OFF (i.e. when the touch-
response icon is not showing) the same volume is produced no matter how hard
you play on the keyboard. Touch response can be turned OFF to produce a
more realistic effect with voices that normally do not have touch response: e.g.
organ and harpsichord.
When the DUAL VOICE feature is engaged you can play two voices simul-
taneously across the entire keyboard — the keyboard voice you select in the
normal way (page 12), and a "dual" voice selected via the DUAL VOICE func-
tion.
The DUAL VOICE feature is turned ON and OFF by pressing the [DUAL
VOICE] button. The dual-voice icon (overlapping keyboards) will appear next
to "DUAL" in the display when DUAL VOICE is turned ON.
