Pitch Bend; Pitch Controls - Yamaha Portatone PSR-E403 Owner's Manual

Handy Performance Features

Pitch Bend

The pitch bend wheel can be used to add smooth pitch variations to notes you play on the keyboard. Roll
the wheel upward to raise the pitch, or downward to lower the pitch. If you use this feature with a voice
such as the "040 Overdriven" guitar voice, you can produce remarkably realistic string-bending effects.
