Using The Joystick - Yamaha PSR-A2000 Owner's Manual

Using the Joystick

The joystick lets you control the pitch or the modulation effect conveniently by
moving it in a horizontal (X) or vertical (Y) direction.
Pitch Bend
Moving the joystick along the X axis bends notes up (moving right) or down
(moving left) while playing the keyboard. Pitch Bend is applied to all the keyboard
parts (RIGHT 1, 2 and LEFT).

The maximum pitch bend range can be changed on the Mixing Console display:
[MIXING CONSOLE] → TAB [E][F] TUNE → [H] PITCH BEND RANGE.
Modulation
Moving the joystick along the Y axis applies modulation effects, such as vibrato, to
notes played on the keyboard. By default, this is applied to keyboard parts RIGHT 1
and 2. Moving the joystick away from the center increases the depth of the effect,
while moving it closer to the center decreases it.
You can set whether the effects caused by the joystick will be applied or not to each
keyboard part: [FUNCTION] → [D] CONTROLLER → TAB [E][F]
KEYBOARD/PANEL → [A]/[B] 2 JOYSTICK +Y, 3 JOYSTICK -Y.
