Press (TRANSPOSE)
Function
Transpose the pitch played by C3 in half steps.
Settings

Explanation
The V50 front panel has a mark indicating “C3”,
located roughly at the center of the keyboard. This
transpose function modifies the pitch played by the
C key below the “C3” mark.
Normally this is set to C3.
Pressing a key C1 – C5 will specify the new
transpose setting.

(1) Poly/mono mode select
Function
Select poly or mono mode.
Settings
poly mode, mono mode
Explanation
In poly mode you can play chords. (Last note priority
is used.) In mono mode only one note at a time will
sound.
(2) Pitch bend wheel range
Function
Set the range of pitch change produced by the pitch
bend wheel.
Settings
0 – 12
Explanation
The pitch bend wheel is located at the left of the
keyboard.
It allows you to change the pitch while playing.
Moving the wheel away from you will smoothly raise
the pitch. Moving the wheel toward you will smoothly
lower the pitch.
This pitch bend wheel range setting determines
the maximum pitch change when the pitch bend wheel
is moved all the way in either direction.
When this is set to 0, the pitch bend wheel will
have no effect. When this is set to 12, the pitch bend
wheel will have maximum effect. Pitch bend wheel
range can be set from 0 – 12 in half-steps. This means
that a setting of 12 will allow the pitch bend wheel
to raise or lower the pitch one octave.
(3) Foot switch
Function
Select the function of the foot switch.
Settings
por, sus
Explanation
An on/off foot switch (similar to the pedal of a piano)
can be connected to the V50 rear panel FS jack, and
can function in one of two ways. (Use a foot switch
such as the FC-4 or FC-5, sold separately.)
por (Portamento)
When portamento mode (an explanation follows) is
set to “Full Time Porta”, the portamento effect will
apply only while the foot switch is pressed.
sus (Sustain)
When you press the foot switch while a note is pressed,
and then release the note, it will continue sounding
as though the key had not been released.
Note:
If portamento mode is set to "Fingered Porta", the
foot switch will have no effect on portamento.
If the portamento time is set to 0, there will be
no portamento effect.
In performance play mode, the foot switch setting
of instrument 1 will apply.
The portamento effect will apply when a foot
switch is not connected, or when the foot switch is
set to “sus”.
