❍Functions that can be assigned (Pedals
Only)
* The effect may not be applied correctly when you press a pedal
if “Pedal EX1–4” is assigned to more than one pedal.
→Using the “Bend Up” or “Bend Down” function during a
split performance (p. 28) changes the pitch of sounds in the
right-hand side of the keyboard. Additionally, the range in
which the pitch can change when the Bender effect is used is
called the “bend range”; refer to “Changing the Bend Range
(Pedal Setting)” (p. 149).
■Changing the Bend Range (Pedal Setting)The effect of smoothly raising or lowering the pitch of a
played note is called the “bender effect.”
With the KR-7/5, you can assign the bender function to a
pedal, then apply the bender effect by depressing and
releasing the pedal.
You can also make a setting that determines how much the
pitch of the note changes when you apply the bender. The
maximum range of change in pitch is called the “bend
range.”
At Step 3 “Procedure” (p. 145), touch <Pedal Setting>.
fig.d-pedalset.eps_50
Touch <Bend Range> to adjust the bend range
setting.
You can set this to any value within a range of 1 to 12 (in
half-tone steps, up to one octave).
