Portamento Control
The Portamento control determines
the time
required to
change pitches when
different
keys
are
pressed. Set at
'0',
the
keyboard will
react with
ins-
tant pitch
changes. As the slider is raised, new
keys
pressed
will
slide
from the last pitch
to the
new one, taking
longer
as
the
control
is raised
further.
Bender Section
The Bender
section
allows the
performer to change
pitch and/or tone
freely
as
he
performs
to add
expression and vitality to
the
sound.
Bender
The
Bender
lever is center-sprung to
return to its
original setting reliably after each
bend
for great
speed and accuracy.
The center position has no
effect on the SH-09 sound or settings,
while the
left
and
right extremes
of movement
(—
and +)
achieve
the same
amount of bend in opposite
directions.
VCO
and
VCF
Bender
Sensitivity
Controls
These two sliders control the exact amount of pitch
and/or
tone
change
at
the extremes of the Bender
travel. These may be set
either separately or
together
to achieve
the exact amount of sharp
and
flat pitch and/or brighter and
more mellow
tone
change with exact
predictability
and
control.
Volume
Control
The Volume
Knob
determines
the final signal level
present
at
the SH-09 Output jack
for standard
amplification
and at the
Headphone
output
jack for
any
stereo headphones.
Power On/Off

This push-on/push-off switch controls the flow of
AC. power
to
the SH-09. The
