Performing with the Keyboard
Changing the Sound's Pitch in Real Time
(Bender/Modulation Lever)
While playing the keyboard, move the lever to the left to lower the pitch, or to the
right to raise the pitch. This is known as Pitch Bend.
You can also apply vibrato by manipulating the lever away from you. This is known
as Modulation.
If you move the lever away from you and at the same time move it to the right or left,
you can apply both effects simultaneously.
