Using the Pitch Bend Wheel
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.

If the Pitch Bend range is set to more than 1200 cents (1 octave) via MIDI, the pitch of some voices may not be raised or lowered
completely.

one other than “FULL KEYBOARD” or “AI FULL KEYBOARD” with the [ACMP] and PART ON/OFF [LEFT] turned on.
