"Osiiradh^^indeir'kever
This
lever,
located
on
the
left
side
of the
instru-
ment, allows
you
to
bend
the pitch or
add
vibrato
to the notes
you
play.
•
Pitch
Bending
By
moving
the
lever
to the
left
or
right,
the notes
you
play
will
be lowered
or
raised in pitch.
"Bend
Range"
(a
performance
setting) allows
you
to
choose the
amount
of
pitch
change
that
will
occur
when
the
lever
is
moved.
(See
"Performance
Func-
tions,"
pages
6-7.)
With
practice,
you
can perfect a variety of perfor-
mance
techniques
(eg.,
"portamento"
or
"string
bending").
•
Vibrato
When
the
Bender
Lever
is
pushed
all
the
way
for-
ward (towards the top of the
instrument),
you
obtain
a
Vibrato
effect.
The manner
in
which
Vi-
brato
will
take effect varies
depending on
the
sound
being played. (See "Editing Tones,"
pages
8-9.)
