The Dual Voice Mode
When the DUAL VOICE mode is engaged you can play two voices (the R1 and R2
voices) simultaneously across the entire keyboard.
The DUAL VOICE mode is turned on and off by pressing the [DUAL VOICE]
button. When the DUAL VOICE mode is turned on both R1 and R2 icons in the display
will light. Press the [DUAL VOICE] button a second time to turn the DUAL VOICE
mode off: the R2 icon in the display will go out leaving only the R1 icon lit.
The R2 TRACK button below the display can also be used to turn the R2 voice on
or off, only when a frame appears around the voice icons, or in the Song mode
including the Demo song playback.

• The HARMONY effect
(page 42) cannot be
turned on while a
drum kit is selected
for the “R1” voice, and
will automatically be
turned off if a drum kit
is selected while
HARMONY is on.
• The TRANSPOSE pa-
rameter (page 46) has
no effect on the drum
kit voices.
• See page 104 for a
complete listing of the
keyboard percussion
drum instrument as-
signments.
• The R1/R2 voice set-
tings can be changed
as required by using
the REVOICE func-
tion, described on

be turned off.
• The DUAL VOICE
mode can be used at
the same time as the

hand section of the
keyboard while both
the R1 and R2 voices
are played on the
right-hand section of
the keyboard. See the
