Adding Effects to the Sound
26
Changing the Pitch/Applying Vibrato
(Pitch Bend/Modulation Lever)
While playing the keyboard, move the lever toward the left to lower
the pitch, or toward the right to raise the pitch. This is called “pitch
bend.”
Moving the lever away from yourself will apply vibrato. This is called
“modulation.”
Moving the lever away from yourself while also moving it to left or
right will apply both effects simultaneously.
MEMO
• Pitch bend and modulation do not apply to organ sounds. If
you’re playing only organ sounds, you can use the pitch bend/
modulation lever to control the rotary effect. Move the lever
away from yourself to turn the rotary effect on/off or apply the
brake; move the lever to left or right to switch between fast/
slow speeds.
• If you’re using Split (p. 29), pitch bend and modulation will
apply only to the upper part.
• You can specify the amount of pitch bend that will occur (Pitch
Bend Range: p. 49).
• You can make settings so that the modulation lever will not turn
the rotary effect on/off or disable the brake (Modulation Lever:
p. 50).
• For the following acoustic sounds, you can use the modulation
lever to produce dynamics effects.
• N.Trumpet
• N.Alto Sax
• N.Flute
Making the Pitch Change Smoothly
(Portamento)
Portamento is an effect that produces a smooth change in pitch
between one note and the next.
Portamento can be applied to piano sounds and to synthesizer
sounds.
MEMO
• Some sounds already have portamento applied to them (default
setting).
• When using split (p. 29), portamento will be applied only to the
upper part.
