The PITCH BEND wheel to the left of the keyboard allows the note
pitch to be bent up or down — roll the wheel away from you to bend up,
and toward you to bend down (this situation can be reversed, as described
below). When the PITCH BEND wheel is moved almost all the way in
either direction, the current pitch bend range value will appear on the
MULTI DISPLAY (see below).
To set the pitch bend range, roll the PITCH BEND wheel all the way in
either direction so that the current range value appears on the MULTI DIS-
PLAY.
While holding the PITCH BEND wheel at its maximum position, use
the [ ] and [ ] buttons, the number buttons, or the data dial to select the
desired pitch bend range. The pitch bend range value is displayed in semi-
tones ( 12 through 12). If a minus setting is selected pitch bend wheel op-
eration is reversed — i.e. roll the wheel away from you to lower pitch. The
default pitch bend range (02) can be instantly recalled by pressing [ ] and
[ ] buttons simultaneously.
Release the PITCH BEND wheel when you've set the required pitch
bend range.
If you have plugged an optional Yamaha FC4 or FC5 footswitch into the
PSR-510's rear-panel SUSTAIN PEDAL jack, the footswitch can be used
as a damper pedal, controlling sustain. Press the pedal to sustain notes after
the keys are released.
