Chapter 4. Changing Tones in Real Time
You can use the RS-5/9’s Pitch Bend lever, Modulation lever,
and control knobs to make changes to the Tones in real time.
You can also alter the Tones with a pedal connected to the
PEDAL jack.
Changing the Pitch in
Realtime (Pitch Bend Lever)
While playing the keyboard, move the lever to the left to
lower the pitch, or to the right to raise the pitch.
For a more detailed explanation of the Pitch Bend lever, refer
to Quick Start (p. 50).

Using the Modulation Lever
to modify the sound
As set at the factory, moving the lever away from you as you
press a key on the keyboard produces a vibrato effect.
You can add effects other than vibrato with the Modulation
lever.

* This is applied to both the Upper Part and Lower Part when
Key Mode is set to Dual.
MOD (Modulation Assign)
“TxCC#” refers to the controller number sent from the MIDI
OUT connector when the Modulation lever is moved. When
set to AFTERTOUCH, a Channel Aftertouch message is sent.
Receiving these controller numbers from the MIDI IN
connector gives the same effect as moving the Modulation
lever.
Set to AFTERTOUCH mainly when you want to control the
external sound generator with Aftertouch messages.
