ON
This
parameter determines
the
range over which the
pitch is changed,
when pitch
bend data is received
from
an external MIDI device.
The
up and down ranges of the
pitch
bend can be
set independently.
Pitch bend
is
usually executed
from
a bender/modulation lever
on
a MIDI keyboard,
and is effective
especially when
playing
guitar
sounds and some sound effects.

This parameter
determines
the downward
range
of the pitch in

when pitch
bend data is
received.
