5.4 Pitch Bend and Transpose
The KR-3’s left pedal (also known as “Soft” pedal) can
be used to bend the notes you play. To do so, you must
assign it the Pitch Bend function (see “Pedal func-
tions” on page 46 for details) and specify whether you
want to bend the notes upward (“Bend Up”) or down-
ward (“Bend Down”). You must set the “Pitch Bend
Range” (see page 48), which is the interval (or number
of semitones) by which the notes will be shifted when
you press the Soft pedal.
If you are playing a C and want to shift it to D by
pressing the pedal, set Pitch Bend Range to “2” (two
semitones or one whole tone) and select “Bend Up” as
Pedal Assign function. To bend to the G below the C
you are playing, set the Range value to “5” and Pedal
Assign to “Bend Down” (select “7” and “Bend Up” to
shift to the G above the C).
If it is difficult to play a song in a particular key, select
a different one with the TRANSPOSE [
b
]/[
#
] buttons.
Each time you press the [
b
] button, the key will be
lowered a semitone; each time you press the [
#
] but-
ton, the key will be raised a semitone. Pressing the [
b
]/
[
#
] buttons simultaneously will return the song to the
original key.
Note: The transposition interval can also be set via the dis-
play. See “Key Touch/Key Transpose” on page 47.
