Play using the Pitch/Modulation ball

While you play, you can apply Pitch Bend and Modulation to the keyboard sounds by using
the Pitch/Modulation ball located to the left of the keyboard.
• To obtain Pitch Bend, move the ball Up or Down.
To obtain Modulation, move the ball in Left/Right directions.
Pitch Bend is a "glide" (or glissato) effect which simulates the effect that certain instru-
ments can produce (trombone, guitar, violin, etc.).
Modulation is an effect which simulates the natural vibrato of such instruments as the
violin, cello, human voice, etc..

Play with Effects or bypass them

One or both effects (REVERB and CHORUS) will be active (shown by the corresponding
display indicators), according to how the current Performance is programmed (in Style or
RealTime modes).
You can temporarily modify the way in which a Performance or Style is processed by changing
the On/Off configuration of the REVERB and CHORUS panel buttons.
When the corresponding display indicator is on, the sounds of the current Performance are
being processed by the effect; when the display indicator is off, the effect is bypassed.
Bypass
1. To bypass an effect, press the corresponding panel button.
The corresponding display indicator goes off, indicating that the current Performance is
not processed by the relative effect.
To activate an effect
2. Press the corresponding panel button.
The corresponding display indicator turns on to show that the current Performance is
processed by the relative effect.
22 Reverbs (Reverb) and 22 Modulation/Delays (Chorus) are available in the WK2.

Play with headphones

• Plug a set of headphones into one of the rear panel HEADPHONES jacks.
You can play and listen in total silence over the headphones without disturbing others in
the same room by plugging into the left Headphone jack (the instrument's speakers are
automatically excluded). Plugging into the right headphone jack does not affect the
internal speakers.
Use the Volume slider to regulate the headphone volume.
