5.5. Pitch Bend and Transpose
The KR-75's left pedal (Soft) can be used to bend
the notes you play. To do so, you must assign it the
Pitch Bend function (see "Pedal functions" on page
46 for details) and specify whether you want to
bend the notes upward ("Bend Up") or downward
("Bend Down"). Furthermore, you must set the
"Pitch Bend Range" (see page 49), i.e. 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, i.e. 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 you find the key of a song difficult to sing in,
select a different one with the TRANSPOSE [;]/{j]
buttons.

Each time you press the [}] button, the key will be
lowered a semitone; each time you press the {y} but-
ton, the key will be raised a semitone. Pressing the
[1/4] buttons simultaneously will return the song
to the original key.
Note: The transposition interval can also be set via the
display. See "Key Touch/Key Transpose" on page 48 for
details.
6. Tones and related functions
6.1. Selecting Tones
The KR-75 comes with a host of instrument sounds
(called Tones). These Tones are divided into eight
categories, called Groups.
Selecting "normal" Tones
1. Press the TONE button of the Group that contains the Tone
you need.
The button's indicator will go on, and a Tone select
screen (e.g. Whole Mode Tone) will be displayed.

Each Tone Group contains a varying number of
Tones.
2. Select a Tone by pressing the buttons to the side of the dis-
play screen.
The name of the Tone selected will be highlighted
on the display. Play a few notes on the keyboard to
confirm that the Tone is what you had in mind.
The Tone Select screen is composed of multiple
pages. Use <<4<4PAGE> and <PAGEP > to turn
to another page.
Note: If you want to try out several Tones from a Tone
Group, pressing the [HOLD] button will lock the Tone
Select screen and keep it from vanishing after a few sec-
onds of inaction.
Note: See "Normal Tones" at the end of this manual for
the number and kinds of Tones each Group contains.
You may wonder why we use "Normal Tones"
rather than just "Tones". That is because the above
procedure does not provide access to all Tones the
KR-75 contains. See "Selecting Expansion Tones"
for more details about how to access all Tones.
Note: See also "Selecting Tones for the Upper and Lower
parts" on page 21 for how to assign Tones in Split mote.
