Adjusting the Metronome Volume

2. Use the bt (w, q) buttons to adjust the metronome volume.

3. Press the bs (FUNCTION) button.

This will exit the metronome volume screen and cause the FUNCTION lamp to go out.

NOTE

•You also can use the procedure under “Metronome Volume” (page E-41) to adjust the metronome volume.

Using the Pitch Bend Wheel

You can use the pitch bend wheel to slide the pitch of notes smoothly upwards and downwards. This capability makes it possible to reproduce saxophone and electric guitar choking effects.

Adding a Pitch Bend Effect

1. While playing a note on the keyboard, rotate the pitch bend wheel on the left of the keyboard upwards or downwards.

The amount the note bends depends on how much you rotate the pitch bend wheel.

•Do not have the pitch bend wheel rotated as you turn on the Digital Piano.

NOTE

•You also can configure pitch bend wheel operation by specifying the amount of pitch change at maximum rotation in either direction. See “Pitch Bend Range” (page E-43) for more information.

Playing a Duet

You can use the Duet Mode to split the Digital Piano’s keyboard in the center so two people can play a duet. This makes it possible to configure the keyboard so, for example, the teacher can play on the left and the student can follow along on the right. Or one person can play the left hand part on the left, while another plays the right hand part on the right.
