Other Performance Features

Other performance functions include the following. Select various patches, and try

out these functions.

The force with which you play the keyboard, or the "velocity" with which you play,

can affect the volume or timbre of a sound. Aftertouch—downward pressure you

apply to a key after playing a note—can also affect the sound.

fig.Q-18

While playing the keyboard, move the lever to the left to lower the pitch of the

currently selected patch, or to the right to raise its pitch. This is known as pitch bend.

You can also apply vibrato and so on by gently pushing the lever away from you.

This is known as modulation.

If you push the lever away from you and at the same time move it to the right or left,

you can apply both effects at once.

Pitch Bend

To modify the pitch range of the keyboard in semitone steps (G–F#: -5– +6

semitones), press [TRANSPOSE] so its indicator lights. Set the desired amount of

transposition by holding down [TRANSPOSE] and pressing [+OCT] or [-OCT].
