Voice Combination Examples
(Dual and Split)
Dual
Split
Dual + Split
MAIN + MAIN
GrandPiano1 + E.Piano1
GrandPiano1 + E.Piano2
This combination is often used in popular music.
MAIN + MAIN GrandPiano1 + SynthPiano This produces a fantasy, spacious piano sound.
MAIN + MAIN GrandPiano2 + GrandPiano2
This combination sounds as if you are playing
two notes that are two octaves apart. It is suit-
able for the accompaniment of Salsa music.
MAIN + MAIN E.Piano1 + SlowChoir This is suitable for romantic ballads.
MAIN + MAIN E.Piano2 + ElectricClavichord
This is suitable for funk, rhythm & blues, and soul
music.
MAIN + MAIN Harpsichord8' + Strings
This combination is very suitable for Baroque
music.
MAIN + MAIN Celesta + SynthStirngs
This combination adds strings and bell sound. A
delay effect is automatically applied.
MAIN / LEFT
GrandPiano1 / WoodBass
or Bass&Cymbal
This is recommended for light Jazz music. The
damper pedal is effective on the voice assigned
to the right-hand range.
MAIN / LEFT Celesta / Choir
This is suitable for a peaceful, somewhat cute
song.
MAIN / LEFT Choir / GrandPiano1
Play these voices elegantly along with piano
arpeggio. Playing the Choir voice in chords
would be more effective.
MAIN / LEFT Scat / WoodBass
This combination features a cool (stylish) jazz
chorus. The Scat voice is touch sensitive, adding
a variety of expressions.
MAIN / LEFT E.Piano2 / Scat
Playing the Scat voice for a bass part may create
an interesting sound.
MAIN + MAIN / LEFT
GrandPiano1 + SynthString /
GrandPiano1
This combination creates the thick sound of a
layered piano and strings.
MAIN + MAIN / LEFT
GrandPiano2 + E.Piano1 /
ElectricBass
This sound is suitable for fusion. Deeper reverb
and chorus (pages 79 and 80) will improve the
groove. The damper pedal is effective on the
voice assigned to the right-hand range.
MAIN + MAIN / LEFT + LEFT
Harpsichord8' + 4' + Strings /
Harpsichord8' + Strings
This combination makes a very brilliant sound.
