Chapter 4 Using the Performance Functions
Adding Decay to the Sound
(Damper Pedal)
When you depress the Damper (Sustain) pedal, a decay effect will be added
to the voices.
While you continue depressing the damper pedal, notes will be sustained
even if you release the keys.
fig.04-04
By default the decay effect will be applied to the voices played on the Lower
keyboard.
Pitch Bend and Vibrato Effects
When you move the Pitch Bend/Vibrato lever to the left or right, you can
obtain a smooth change in the pitch of the notes being played (Pitch Bend
effect). Move the lever to the right to raise the pitch, and to the left to lower
it. Also, when you push the lever away from you, a vibrato effect can be
obtained.
fig.04-05
By default (immediately after the power is turned on) the Pitch Bend effect
is added to the voices of all the sections being played on the Upper
keyboard.
You can modify the setting
so that decay is applied to
notes played on the Upper
keyboard (p. 171).
NOTE
Decay cannot be added to
the Solo voices.
You can play the Pedal
Bass voice in the Lower
keyboard (the [To Lower]
button is on). In this case, a
decay will not be applied to
the pedal bass voice.
You can also adjust the
range of the pitch which is
shifted by the Pitch Bend
lever. For details, refer to
“Changing the Pitch
Bend Range” (p. 172).

Vibrato
NOTE
Please note that only the
appropriate voices will
allow vibrato to be added
(p. 196).
You can change the settings
so that both the Pitch Bend
and Vibrato effects are
applied to the Lower
keyboard voice or the
voices on the Pedalboard.
Please refer to
“Selecting
the Keyboard to Which
the Pitch Bend/Vibrato
Lever will Apply” (p. 171).
