Selecting & Playing Voices
P-255 Owner’s Manual
14
Using Dual mode as described below, you can layer
two Voices on the keyboard and play them together.
By combining Voices of different types in this way,
you can create a composite Voice of greater richness
and texture.
1
Select the two Voices you wish to layer
using the corresponding Voice buttons.
Your digital piano will get the selected Voices
ready for playing.
For details on selecting voices, see page 13.
2
Activate Dual mode.
Press the Voice buttons for the two selected Voices
together and verify that they both light up.
Voice 1 and Voice 2
Of the two Voices selected for layering, the one
selected using the Voice button closer to the left
will be designated Voice 1; the other, Voice 2.
When you activate Dual mode, the Voices’ octave
settings and volume balance in addition to their
reverb and effect types and depths will be auto-
matically optimized. If necessary, however, you
can change these settings using the corresponding
Function parameters (page 40). Furthermore,
these settings can be changed individually for
Voice 1 and Voice 2.
3
Leave Dual mode.
Press any Voice button to return to normal play
mode.
Using Split mode as described below, you can divide
the keyboard into left and right sides and assign differ-
ent Voices to each. You could, for example, play a
bass part with your left hand using the Wood Bass or
Electric Bass Voice while playing a melody using a
different Voice with your right hand.
1
Activate Split mode.
Press the [SPLIT] button and verify that it lights up.
By default, the Wood Bass Voice will be assigned
to the left side of the keyboard at this time.
2
Set the split point.
The split point is the location at which the key-
board is divided. To set this point, press the corre-
sponding key with the [SPLIT] button held down.
Alternatively, you can move the split point by
pressing the [-/NO] and [+/YES] buttons with the
[SPLIT] button held down. To restore the split
point to the default F#2 setting, press the [-/NO]
and [+/YES] buttons together with the [SPLIT]
button held down.
Whenever the [SPLIT] button is being held down,
the display will show the current split point.
Examples of split points as shown on display
Layering two Voices with Dual mode

down.
