Use MIDI Functionality
While playing the keyboard, move the Pitch Bend/Modulation lever to the left to
lower the pitch of the currently selected patch, or to the right to raise its pitch.
This is known as
pitch bend
. You can also apply vibrato by gently pressing the
Modulation Controller. This is known as
modulation
.
If you push the lever away from you and the same time move it to the right or
left, you can apply both effects at once.
* The amount of pitch change (“bend range”) depends on the settings of your sound
module.
Features useful when playing
Applying pitch changes to notes
(Pitch Bend)
Move the
Pitch Bend/Modulation lever
(left or right) to transmit
pitch bend
messages,
and apply subtle pitch changes to notes.
* The amount of pitch change (“bend range”) depends on the settings of your sound
module.
Modifying the sound of notes
(Modulation)
Push the
Pitch Bend/Modulation lever
away from you to transmit
modulation
messages
(CC#01), changing the sound in real time (usually by adding a vibrato effect).
* The type of change this produces in the sound depends on the settings of your sound
module.
Adding a sustain effect to notes
(Hold)
If a
pedal switch
or
foot switch
(one from the DP series or BOSS FS-5U; sold separately) is
connected to the rear panel HOLD jack, you can press the foot switch to make notes
continue sounding even after you remove your hand from the keyboard (the Hold function).
This will transmit the MIDI message hold 1 (CC#64). The hold on message (data 127) is
transmitted when you press the pedal, and hold off (data 0) when you release the pedal.
Controlling the volume or timbre
of the sound
(Expression)
If an
expression pedal
(EV-5; sold separately) is connected to the rear panel EXPRESSION
jack, you can use the pedal to control the volume or tone.
Changing octaves
(Octave Shift)
You can press
OCTAVE [-]
or
OCTAVE [+]
to raise or lower the pitch range of the keyboard
(the octave shift function).
Press
OCTAVE [-]
once to lower the pitch range one octave. Press it once again to lower the
range an additional octave. Permissible settings for this range from -4 to 5 octaves.
OCTAVE
[-]
or
OCTAVE [+]
will light according to the current octave shift setting. If you
simultaneously press
OCTAVE [-]
and
OCTAVE [+]
, the octave shift setting will be reset to 0,
restoring the normal pitch range of the keyboard.
