NOTE

•The sustain of some voices may not be markedly affected when the panel sustain function is turned on.

Pitch Bend

The pitch bend wheel can be used to add smooth pitch variations to notes you play on the keyboard. Roll the wheel upward to raise the pitch, or downward to lower the pitch.

If you use this feature with a voice such as the “045 Overdriven” guitar voice (page 15), you can produce remarkably realistic string-bending effects.

You can change the amount of pitch bend produced by the wheel, as described on page 88.
