Pitch Bend Range - Yamaha DGX-500AD - 88-Note Touch-Sensitive Portable Electronic Keyboard Owner's Manual

Pitch Bend Range

The DGX-500/300 has a [PITCH BEND] wheel that lets you change the pitch of
the voices in real time, as you play. The Pitch Bend Range parameter determines
the amount that pitch is raised or lowered when using the [PITCH BEND] wheel.
At the minimum setting, moving the [PITCH BEND] wheel up or down changes
the pitch by a maximum of 1 semitone or half-step in either direction. At the max-
imum setting of 12, pitch is changed over a range of ± one octave (12 semitones).
The [PITCH BEND] wheel affects the voices played in the right-hand section of
the keyboard. (It has no effect on the auto accompaniment.)
