Raising and lowering the pitch
in real time (Pitch Bend)
When you move the pitch bender (located at the left
of the keyboard) to right or left, the pitch of the notes
you are playing will rise or fall.
Adjusting the width of the pitch change
You can specify the width of the pitch change that
will occur, in semitone steps up to a maximum of 2
octaves. This can be set independently for each Part.
1. Press {EDIT].
The indicator will light.
2. Use VALUE[-]/[+] to select "Perform Part" and
press [ENTER].
3. Press [9] several times to select "Bend Range.”
* Tf you hold down [ENTER] while you press [9], you
will return to the previous item.
4. Use PART| <@ ]/[ B> ] to select the Part whose
pitch bend range you wish to adjust.
* You will be able to select only two Parts (Upper Part
and Lower Part) if the Keyboard Mode (p.19) is set
to Dual, X-dual, or Split.
5. Use VALUE[-]/[+] to set the value (0-+24).

Modifying the sound in real time
while you play
On the XP-10 you can use the Modulation lever,
pedal, and Combination Palette sliders to make vari-
ous changes in the sound as you play. For each aspect
of the sound that you are controlling, you can select
the controller that is most appropriate for your situa-
tion. These controllers will modify the Tone that is
being played by the keyboard.
* When the Keyboard Mode is Split, the controllers
will modify the Tone of the Lower Part.
These controllers do not always perform the function
you specify. In the following cases, the controllers will
act differently.
A)
When playing an arpeggio, you press [PALETTE
SELECT] and use the sliders to control the arpeggio
(When the arpeggio [ON/OFF] indicator is blinking)

* For details refer to “Changing the arpeggiator pat-
tern while you play” (p.24) and “About the XP-10’s
controllers” (p.30).
B)
When the Keyboard Mode is X-dual and you are
using either the modulation lever, a pedal, or a slider
to control X-dual.
* For details refer to “Changing the X-dual controller”
(p.20) and “About the XP-10's controllers” (p.30).
Using the Modulation Lever to modify
the sound
What can be controlled by the Modulation Lever?
The Modulation Lever can control one of the follow-
ing eight functions.
Functions assignable to the Modulation Lever
VIBRATO
add vibrato
ENV TIME
modify the Attack Time (p.34) and the Release Time (p.34)
PORTA TIME
modify the Portamento Time (p.26)
CUTOFF
modify the brightness of the sound
RESONANCE
modify the tonal character of the sound
RESO+CUTOFF
