Pitch
Bend
When
the
MKS-100
receives the
MIDI
Pitch
Bend
message
(caused by
operating the
bender on the
keyboard or guitar's choking),
it
creates the Pitch
Bend
effect.
If
the
MIDI Bender
of
the MIDI Functions
(ex-
plained
on page
66)
is
set to
OFF, the MIDI
Pitch
Bend message
is
ignored, therefore,
the pitch
bend
effect
cannot be
obtained.
Bend Range
The
depth
of
the
pitch
bend
effect
can be
set
with
the
Bend Range.

Push
the Enter Button.
The
MKS-100
cannot
play the pitch higher
than the
sampled sound by one octave and
6th
(21
semi-
tones).
The exceeded
pitch
will
be substituted with
the pitch of
the lower octave.
The
number shown
at
the
right of
the Display rep-
resents
how many
notes (semi-tones) higher than
the pitch of
the sample (Recording
Key Number)
can be output from the
MKS-100. As
you
raise
the
Bend Range
value,
the
number becomes
smaller.
* The
Bend Range
Value you have
set
will
be
re-
tained
in
th
MKS-100's memory,
but
cannot be
retained
in
the
QD.
If
the
Bender
of the
Wave
Parameter (explained
on
page
47)
is
set
to
OFF,
the
sound would
not
take
on the
pitch
bend
effect.
