Combining Two Voices (Dual Mode) - Yamaha PF-500 Owner's Manual

Selecting and Playing Voices

Combining two voices (Dual mode)

You can play two voices simultaneously across the entire range of the keyboard. In this way, you can simulate
a melody duet or combine two similar voices to create a thicker sound. Refer to "Voice Combination Exam-
ples (Dual and Split)" on page 99 for examples of effective voice combinations.
The numbers on the upper row indicate the steps
in Dual mode using voices from different groups.
