RELEASE = ENA/DIS

62 PITCH BEND

BEND RflNGE= 2
This function features two parameters — BEND RANGE
and RELEASE — which are used to determine how the
external MIDI instrument pitch bend wheel can be used
to raise or lower pitch.
The BEND RANGE parameter can be used to raise or low
er the maximum limit that pitch can be bended by an ex
ternal MIDI instrument, in half-step increments. At the
minimum value of "0", the pitch bend wheel has no ef
fect on pitch, while at the maximum value of "48", you
can bend notes a maximum of 48 half-steps (4 octaves),
up and down.
ri
The RELEASE parameter lets you choose whether or not
the external keyboard pitch bend wheel can be used to bend
sounds which are sustained after the keyboard is released.

When this parameter is set to DIS (disable), you can bend
notes only before actually receiving note off message (be
fore the release point in DCA curve).
When set to ENA (enable), you can also bend any note
that is still sounding (portion of sound following the release
point in DCA curve) — even after releasing the correspond
ing key on the external keyboard. (FIG-C)
In the "G" performance mode, parameters set for the
sound programmed to MIDI Channel 1 affect the other
5 MIDI channels. The pitch bend message, however, can
be received by each string independently.
When PITCH BEND-related MIDI mode messages are
received, operations automatically switch to this function.
