Voices – Playing the keyboard –
1
Use the [PITCH BEND] wheel to bend notes up (roll the wheel away from you) or
down (roll the wheel toward you) while playing the keyboard. The Pitch Bend is
applied to all the keyboard parts (RIGHT 1, 2 and LEFT). The [PITCH BEND]
wheel is self-centering and will automatically return to normal pitch when released.
The maximum pitch bend range can be changed on the Mixing Console display:
[MIXER/EQ] TAB [E][F] TUNE [H] PITCH BEND RANGE.
Use the [MODULATION] wheel to apply modulation effects, such as vibrato, to
notes played on the keyboard. By default, this is applied to the keyboard parts
(RIGHT 1, 2 and LEFT). Moving the [MODULATION] wheel up (away from you)
increases the depth of the effect, while moving it down (toward you) decreases it.
You can set whether the effects caused by the [MODULATION] wheel will be
applied or not to each keyboard part independently: [FUNCTION] TAB [E]
MENU 1 [D] CONTROLLER TAB [F] KEYBOARD/PANEL [A]/[B] 2
