Performing with the Keyboard
2
Adjust the CHORUS/DELAY [DEPTH] knob to select the amount of
chorus effect to be applied.
Rotating the knob clockwise applies a deeper chorus, and rotating it
counterclockwise applies less chorus.
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.

Pitch Bend Modulation
When the Tone Info's Chorus
Amount setting is set to "0,"
then no effect is applied, even
when the CHORUS knob is
turned (p. 71).
The effect obtained when you
move the lever may differ
according to the tone being
used. Additionally, the effect
applied by moving the lever is
predetermined for each tone,
and cannot be changed.
When the Tone Wheel screen is
displayed, the Pitch Bend
Lever is set so that tilting the
lever from left to right switches
the Rotary effect from fast to
slow. For details, refer to
"Simulating the Creation of
Organ Tones (Tone Wheel
Mode)" (p. 53).
Sounds may become distorted
with certain tones.
