VOICE PLAY MODE
■ Dual Mode
When the P-150 is in Dual mode, you can play two voices at the same time—a
main voice and a sub voice—over the full range of the keyboard. For example, you
can blend electric piano and strings sounds together to add depth and texture to a
melody line.
You can adjust the volume balance of the Dual voices in relation to each other, as
well as detune the voices in order to enrich the sound by bringing out the individual
characteristics of each Dual voice. You can also transpose each Dual voice (for
details, see page 35).
In Dual mode, voice polyphony is
determined by the voices you select.
For example, if you select two 32-
note polyphonic voices, polyphony
will be reduced to 16 notes. If you
select a 32-note voice and a 16-note
(stereo) voice, polyphony will be
reduced to 10 notes. Likewise, if you
select two 16-note (stereo) voices,
polyphony will be reduced to 8 notes.
ENTERING AND EXITING DUAL MODE
1.
Main Voice: Press and hold a [VOICE SELECT] button.
2.
Sub Voice: While still holding the first button, simply press
another [VOICE SELECT] button.
The LED above each [VOICE SELECT] button lights, and those two voices
will sound when you play the keyboard.
The order that you press the buttons will determine which voice is the main
voice and which voice is the sub voice. For example, if you press and hold
[E. PIANO 3] and then press [STRINGS], the ELECTRIC PIANO 3 voice will
be the main voice, and the STRINGS voice will be the sub voice.
In Dual mode, since both voices are sounded simultaneously, the distinction
between the main voice and sub voice is not important when you play the
keyboard. However, you will want to keep it in mind when adjusting the voice
balance and detune settings, as described below.
When you select voices in Dual mode, the P-150 will apply the main voice
reverb type and depth setting and modulation type and speed setting to both
voices, and ignore any settings which you may have made for the sub voice.
Also, [PITCH] and [MODULATION] wheels apply to both voices equally, with
the values as set for the main voice.
To exit Dual mode, simply press a single [VOICE SELECT] button to return
to Single mode, or press [SPLIT] and enter Split mode.
