BENDER
The
Bender/Modulation Lever located
on the left
side of the keyboard
is used as
follows:
(T)When
moved to the
left/right it lowers/raises
the pitch of
what
is
played.

When pushed
toward the rear, it adds a
vibrato effect.
The lever can be
conveniently used
to duplicate
such techniques as
string
bending on
a

to
simulate
certain breath

that
would occur
with

want
to
practice
with the

a
while,
however, until you get
precisely the
effect
you
need.
