7. Various useful functions

Temporarily changing the pitch of a note (Pitch Bend)

Move the BENDER/MODULATION lever

[1]left or right to transmit Pitch Bend messages, and apply subtle pitch changes to the notes you are playing.

Note: The Pitch Bend range (amount of pitch change) varies depending on the setting of the Part or module being controlled.

Adding vibrato (Modulation)

Moving the BENDER/MODULATION lever [1] forward (away from you) will transmit Modulation messages (CC01), changing the sound in real time (usually by adding a vibrato effect).

Note: The change obtained with this message will vary depending on the settings for your sound module. In some cases, the filter or vol- ume will be modulated, producing a WahWah or tremolo effect.

Holding the notes your play (Sustain)

Connect an optional DP-2, DP-6 or BOSS FS-5U footswitch to the SUSTAIN SWITCH jack. Press it while playing one or several notes to send Hold 1 messages (CC64), causing the notes to be sustained. If an electric organ or another sustained sound is used, the notes will continue for as long as you have the pedal down.

Pressing the pedal will transmit an ON value (127), while releasing it will transmit an OFF value (0).

Note: The CC 64 (Hold 1) function can be assigned to the DATA ENTRY slider, allowing you to obtain the damper effect by moving the slider.
