Soft
Upper The pedal functions as a sostenuto pedal
(p. 20).
Sostenuto
Lower Applies a damper pedal effect to the sounds
in the left-hand side of the keyboard.
Damper

Bend Up
keyboard.
Bend This lowers the pitch of notes you play on the
Down keyboard.
When the pedal is pressed during a layer per-
formance, the Tone volume changes between
two levels, depending on how firmly the
pedal is pressed.
Pedal EX1
Pressing the pedal with "Pedal EX1" selected
increases the layer Tone volume. The layer
Tone is played at a fixed volume, regardless
of how forcefully the keys are played.
Pressing the pedal with "Pedal EX2" selected
Pedal EX2
increases the layer Tone volume.
Pressing the pedal with "Pedal EX3" selected
increases the layer Tone volume, while the
volume of the left-hand Tone is decreased.
Pedal EX3
The layer Tone is played at a fixed volume,
regardless of how forcefully the keys are
played.
Pressing the pedal with "Pedal EX4" selected
increases the layer Tone volume, while the
Pedal EX4
volume of the right-hand Tone is decreased.
* The effect may not be applied correctly when you press a pedal
if "Pedal EX1–4" is assigned to more than one pedal.
Using the "Bend Up" or "Bend Down" function during a
split performance (p. 28) changes the pitch of sounds in the
right-hand side of the keyboard. Additionally, the range in
which the pitch can change when the Bender effect is used is
called the "bend range"; refer to "Changing the Bend Range
(Pedal Setting)" (p. 149).
Explanation
Chapter 8 Various Settings
Changing the Bend Range
(Pedal Setting)
The effect of smoothly raising or lowering the pitch of a
played note is called the "bender effect."
With the KR-7/5, you can assign the bender function to a
pedal, then apply the bender effect by depressing and
releasing the pedal.
You can also make a setting that determines how much the
pitch of the note changes when you apply the bender. The
maximum range of change in pitch is called the "bend
range."
At Step 3 "Procedure" (p. 145), touch <Pedal Setting>.

setting.
You can set this to any value within a range of 1 to 12 (in
half-tone steps, up to one octave).
