You can sustain notes producing the same effect as that
produced by pressing a sustain pedal.
1.
While playing, press the eq SUSTAIN button.
This causes the button lamp to light.
• The sustain effect (note sustained even after its
keyboard key is released) is applied to notes played
on the keyboard while the lamp is lit.
• You can change the part to which the effect is applied
when you press the eq SUSTAIN button. Before
pressing the eq SUSTAIN button in the step above,
touch “Advanced” on the SYSTEM SETTING screen,
and then select Upper 1 or Lower 1 for the “Sustain
Button Target” setting. For details, see the separate
“Tutorial” manual.
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 er 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 Keyboard.
• 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-56) 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 es
MODULATION wheel or the bq K1 or K2
knobs.
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 Keyboard.
• You can change the effects and functions assigned to
the modulation wheel and knobs. See
“CONTROLLER Screen” under “Configuring
Digital Keyboard Settings” (page EN-56).
