Changing The Pitch (Bend Range Up/Down) - Roland JP-8080 Owner's Manual

Changing the Pitch
(Bend Range Up/Down)
When the pitch bend lever of a MIDI keyboard is moved
left/right (or up/down, in the case of a wheel), the pitch of
the notes you play will change. The bend range (width of
pitch change) can be set in semitone steps, up to a maxi-
mum of 2 octaves.
Bend Range Up/Down settings can be made independently
for each patch.
Bend Range Up 0– +24
the pitch bend lever is moved to the far right position (or for
a wheel, the fully upward position).
Bend Range Down -24–0
the pitch bend lever is moved to the far left position (or for
a wheel, the fully downward position).
Part(s) which can be controlled
When connected to REMOTE KBD IN
The part(s) which will be controlled will depend on the key
mode.
Single, Split: The effect will apply to the Patch of the Part
selected by Panel Select.
Dual: Regardless of the Panel Select setting, the effect will
apply to the Patches of both Parts. If you wish to apply an
effect only to the Patch of one or the other Part, you can
erase the control assign settings of the other Patch.
When connected to MIDI IN
The patch of the part that is set to the same channel as the
transmit channel of the external MIDI device will be con-
trolled. (Part MIDI channel: p.118)

to that produced by leaning on the vibrato arm of an electric
guitar.
