Roland RD-300SX Changing the Sound’s Pitch in Real Time Bender/Modulation Lever, Hard Comp

Performing with the Keyboard

Changing the Sound’s Pitch in Real Time (Bender/Modulation Lever)

While playing the keyboard, move the lever to the left to lower the pitch, or to the right to raise the pitch. This is known as Pitch Bend.

You can also apply vibrato by manipulating the lever away from you. This is known as Modulation.

If you move the lever away from you and at the same time move it to the right or left, you can apply both effects simultaneously.

Pitch Bend Modulation

The effect obtained when you move the lever may differ according to the tone being used. Additionally, the effect applied by moving the lever is predetermined for each tone, and cannot be changed.
