Chapter 8 Various Settings

❍Functions that can be assigned (Pedals Only)

Function	Explanation
	Pressing the pedal during playback of a song
	stops the playback. When the pedal is
	released, playback resumes from the begin-
Replay	ning of the measure that was playing when
	the pedal was pressed. When the pedal is
	pressed in rapid succession, the playback
	will resume backs up the same number of
	measures as the number of times the pedal is
	pressed.
Upper	The pedal functions as a soft pedal (p. 20).
Soft
Upper	The pedal functions as a sostenuto pedal
Sostenuto	(p. 20).
Lower	Applies a damper pedal effect to the sounds
Damper	in the left-hand side of the keyboard.
Bend Up	This raises the pitch of notes you play on the
	keyboard.
Bend	This lowers the pitch of notes you play on the
Down	keyboard.
	When the pedal is pressed during a layer per-
	formance, the Tone volume changes between
	two levels, depending on how firmly the
Pedal EX1	pedal is pressed.
	Pressing the pedal with “Pedal EX1” selected
	increases the layer Tone volume. The layer
	Tone is played at a fixed volume, regardless
	of how forcefully the keys are played.
Pedal EX2	Pressing the pedal with “Pedal EX2” selected
	increases the layer Tone volume.
	Pressing the pedal with “Pedal EX3” selected
	increases the layer Tone volume, while the
Pedal EX3	volume of the left-hand Tone is decreased.
	The layer Tone is played at a fixed volume,
	regardless of how forcefully the keys are
	played.
Pedal EX4	Pressing the pedal with “Pedal EX4” selected
	increases the layer Tone volume, while the
	volume of the right-hand Tone is decreased.

*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).
