Expression & Effects

Left Hold

................................................................................................................................................................................................

This function causes the left-hand (ORCH. 2) voice to be held even

when the keys are released when using the AUTO BASS CHORD and

ORCH. 2v1 orchestration modes. Non-decaying voices such as strings

are held continuously, while decay-type voices such as piano decay more

slowly (as if the sustain pedal has been pressed).

NOTES

• The LEFT HOLD function works only while AUTO BASS CHORD accompa-

niment is running. Further, LEFT HOLD is temporarily disengaged during

ENDING sections and INTRO or SOLO sections that have their own chord

progressions.

• LEFT HOLD will not function during Multi Pad (Chord Pad) playback or

Sequencer ACCOMP. track playback even if the LEFT HOLD indicator is lit.

Pitch Bend Wheel

The PITCH BEND wheel to the left of the keyboard lets you bend

the pitch of notes played on the keyboard up or down. Normal pitch is

restored when the PITCH BEND wheel is released. The maximum pitch

bend range is preset for each voice, but can be set as required for custom

voices by using the CUSTOM VOICE EDIT feature described on page

77.

NOTES

• Pitch bend can be applied to the ORCH. 1 voice only, the ORCH. 2 voice only,

or both voices via the PITCH BEND WHEEL ASSIGN function described on

page 87. Also, pitch bend is applied to harmony notes on the basis of the

ORCH. 1 settings.

• The pitch bend wheel may have no effect when applied to notes at the upper

and lower extremes of the keyboard if a CUSTOM VOICE is used. Also,

sudden pitch changes may occur.

• Pitch bend cannot be applied to the ORCH. 2 voice when AUTO BASS

CHORD is ON and the ORCH. 2 v 1 orchestration mode is selected.

• Pitch bend can be applied to notes from C-1 to C7 (i.e. MIDI note numbers

12 through 108). Pitch can not be bent down below the lowest note or up

above the highest note in this range.

Modulation/Effect Wheel

The MODULATION/EFFECT wheel to the left of the keyboard

lets you apply amplitude/pitch modulation or effects to notes played on

the keyboard. Rolling the MODULATION/EFFECT wheel upward

(away from you) increases the modulation depth or effect. Use the

WHEEL SELECT function described on page 86 to select modulation or

effect operation. The type of effect applied when effect operation is

selected is determined by the EFFECT TYPE function described on page

85.

The modulation effect mode is preset for each voice, but can be set

for custom voices by using the CUSTOM VOICE EDIT feature de-

scribed on page 77.

NOTES

• Modulation is automatically applied to some voices, while to some it cannot

be applied even if the modulation wheel is operated.
