Changing the Sound’s Pitch in Real Time
While playing the keyboard, move the lever to the left to lower the pitch, or to the right to raise the pitch. This is known as Pitch Bend.
You can also apply vibrato by manipulating the lever away from you. This is known as Modulation.
If you move the lever away from you and at the same time move it to the right or left, you can apply both e ects simultaneously.
NOTE
The e ect obtained when you move the lever may di er according to the
tone being used. Additionally, the e ect applied by moving the lever is
predetermined for each tone, and cannot be changed.
MEMO
When the Tone Wheel screen is shown, moving the pitch bend lever to left or
right will switch the Rotary e ect between fast and slow. For details, refer to
“Simulating the Creation of Organ Tones” (p. 42).
Adding Liveliness to the Sound (COMPRESSOR)
Switching on the Compressor suppresses di erences in volume for a more consistent sound.
This is set to OFF when the power is turned on.
