>>Adjusting the Range of Pitch Bending:
You can adjust the Pitch Bend Range from the center
position (standard pitch) within <+12> (one octave up) to
<-12> (one octave down). To adjust the pitch, rotate and
hold the PITCH BEND Wheel all the way up or down, then
press the Increment/Decrement button under the MULTI
DISPLAY and select the desired value. For example if you
select the value <1>, the pitch will slide up one half step
(100 cents) when you rotate the wheel ail the way up. If you
select the value «12», the pitch will slide up one octave
(1200 cents) when you rotate the wheel all the way up.
Conversely in minus value setting, the pitch will slide down
when you rotate the wheel up.

* Initial value setting has been pre-assigned as the value «2».
* The value which you assign is common to each Voice. So it does not
change even when you select a different Voice. The value will also be
memorized while the PSS-795 is turned off if the power is being
supplied (batteries are set in).
* When you rotate the wheel, a kind of MIDI data - Pitch Bend Change
message will be output from the MIDI OUT Terminal of the PortaSound.
The PortaSound will actually output the Pitch Bend Change message to
control the Receiver's Pitch Bending within the range of +/-1 octave. So
if you control the pitch of another MIDI instrument connected to the
PSS-795 as a Slave, you have to adjust the Pitch Bend Range on the
instrument to +/-1 octave. PITCH BEND
