You can also apply vibrato by gently pressing the Modulation button. This is known as
modulation .
If you press the Modulation Button and the same time move Bender Switch to the right or left,
you can apply both effects at once.
Octave Shift and Transpose can be set independently.

Applying Pitch
Changes to Notes
(Pitch Bend)
Move the

Pitch Bend
messages, and
apply subtle pitch changes to notes.
PITCH BEND TIME

Modifying the Sound
of Notes
(Modulation)
Pressing the
Modulation Button

Modulation Button
.
* The type of change this produces in the sound depends on the settings of your
sound module.
