Basic Operation
Use the Pitch Bend wheel to bend notes up (roll the wheel away from you) or down (roll the wheel toward you)
while playing the keyboard. This wheel is self-centering and will automatically return to normal pitch when
released. Try out the Pitch Bend wheel while pressing a note on the keyboard.
nThe bend range can be adjusted via the “Pitch Bend Range” parameter in the Other Settings menu (page 70).
The Modulation wheel applies vibrato to the sound. The more you move this wheel up, the greater the effect
that is applied to the sound. Try out the Modulation wheel with various Preset Voices while playing the
keyboard.
nKeep in mind that many of the Preset Voices are not set with a Modulation effect. (This is to ensure the most
natural sound on these acoustic instrument Voices.) However, the Modulation wheel can be effectively used to
control user-programmable effects, as well as alter the sounds of a connected MIDI tone generator.
nVarious functions can be assigned to the Modulation Wheel. Refer to the “Modulation” parameter in the Voice
Edit menu (page 62).
nTo avoid accidentally applying Modulation or other effects to the current Voice, make sure the Modulation Wheel
is set to minimum before you start playing.
