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 while pressing the two voice selectors
corresponding to the voices to be combined in the DUAL mode.
The C3 key produces equal (50:50) balance between the two voices,
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” voice we refer
to the relative positions of the voice selectors — i.e. in a PIANO 2/
CLAVINOVA TONE combination PIANO 2 is the left voice and
CLAVINOVA TONE is the right voice.
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
voice, it is possible to switch the STRINGS voice to a slow-attack variation
when initially selecting the voices by pressing the [STRINGS] selector
twice while holding the other voice selector. Repeat this operation to return
to the normal STRINGS voice attack.

(CLP-155)
, &
Octave Shift Settings
Press the C7 key while holding any two voice selectors to memorize all
balance, STRINGS voice attack variation (CLP-155), and octave shift settings
made since the power was turned on. The memorized settings will be retained
in memory for about one week after the power is turned off, then the default
settings will be restored. To keep the memorized settings for longer periods,
turn the power on briefly at least once a week.
If these settings are not memorized as described above, they are retained in
memory only until the Clavinova is turned off.
