NOTES
The PITCH BEND wheel to the left of the keyboard allows the pitch of
notes played on the keyboard 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 LCD display panel (see below).
