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:

The Modulation function applies a vibrato effect to notes played on the keyboard. By
default, this is applied to the keyboard parts (RIGHT 1, 2 and LEFT). Moving the
MODULATION wheel down (toward you) decreases the depth of the effect, while
moving it up (away from you) increases it.
You can set whether the effects caused by the MODULATION Wheel will be
applied or not to each of the keyboard part: [FUNCTION]

Harmony to Your Right-hand Melody” on page 40.
