The current Pitch Bend Down value

The global Pitch Bend Down parameter can be set to:

¥ 1-12dn or 1-12upÑthe pitch of sounds whose Pitch Bend Down=Sys will be lowered or raised

by the number of equal-temper semitones set here when the pitch bend wheel is pulled all the

way back.

¥ OffÑsounds whose Pitch Bend Down=Sys will not change pitch when the pitch bend wheel is

pulled back.

5. Use the Value knob to set the Pitch Bend Down value you desire.

The PitchBendMode parameter unlocks a powerful feature that allows you to decide which notes will be

affected by the pitch bend wheel. This parameterÑwhich affects all onboard soundsÑcan be set to one

of three values:

¥ NormalÑPitch Bend messages will affect all notes currently sounding.

¥ HeldÑPitch Bend messages will affect only those notes sounding from keys which are being

physically held down.

Notes held with the sustain pedal or already ringing off will remain at their original pitch. This

feature can be used to create guitar-style pitch bends or to ÒpaintÓ with pitch, leaving different notes

sustaining at different pitches.

¥ ProgÑPitch Bend messages will affect notes according to each soundÕs programmed pitch bend

mode.

When you change any system setting, ZR-76 operations will pause momentarily

to store your settings into FLASH memory.
