Playing with Different Tones
There are two different methods you can use to change
the tempo setting: using the cm TEMPO w, q
buttons for gradual change, or by tapping a beat with
the cm TEMPO TAP button (tap input).
Method 1:
To adjust the tempo setting using the
cm
TEMPO w, q buttons
1.
Use the cm TEMPO w, q buttons to adjust
the tempo setting.
Each press of a button increases or decreases the tempo
value (beats per minute) by one.
Holding down either button changes the value at
high speed.
You can specify a tempo value in the range of 20 to
255.
Method 2:
To adjust the tempo by tapping a beat (tap
input)
1.
Tap the cm TEMPO TAP button a number of
times at the tempo you want to set.
The tempo setting will change in accordance with
your tapping.
After you use this method to specify the approximate
tempo, you can then use the procedure under “To
adjust the tempo setting using the cm TEMPO w,
q buttons” to adjust the setting to a more exact
value.
You can use the pitch bend wheel to slide the pitch of
notes smoothly upwards and downwards. This
capability makes it possible to reproduce saxophone
and electric guitar choking effects.
1.
While playing a note on the
keyboard, rotate the dm PITCH
BEND wheel on the left of the
keyboard upwards or downwards.
The amount the note bends depends on
how much you rotate the pitch bend
wheel.
Do not touch the pitch bend wheel as
you turn on the Digital Piano.
You also can configure pitch bend wheel operation
by specifying the amount of pitch change at
maximum rotation in either direction. See
“CONTROLLER Screen” (page EN-76) for more
information.
You can modify notes even while you are playing. Each
tone is preset with effects that are appropriate for it.
1.
While playing on the keyboard with your right
hand, use your left hand to operate the dn
MODULATION wheel or the bn knobs (K1
through K3).
The amount effect applied depends on how much the
applicable control is moved.
Do not touch the wheel or knobs as you turn on the
Digital Piano.
You can change the effects and functions assigned to
the modulation wheel and knobs. See
“CONTROLLER Screen” under “Configuring
Digital Piano Settings” (pages EN-68 through
EN-81).
