and will automatically return to nornal pitch when released.

The maximum pitch bend range can be set via the PITCH BEND RANGE function

in the OVERALL function group. Use the MENU [▲] and [▼] buttons to move the

triangular indicator in the display next to “OVERALL”.

bend range from “01” to “12” as required. Each increment corresponds to one
