Using the Wheels Using the Pitch Bend Wheel Use the PITCH BEND wheel to bend notes up (roll the wheel away from you) or down (roll the wheel toward you) while playing the keyboard. The Pitch Bend is applied to all the keyboard parts (RIGHT 1, 2 and LEFT). The PITCH BEND wheel is self-centering and will automatically return to normal pitch when released. NOTE The effects caused by using the PITCH BEND Wheel are not applied to the rhythm parts of the Style. 1 Voices - Playing the keyboard - The maximum pitch bend range can be changed on the Mixing Console display: [MIXING CONSOLE]  TAB [E][F] TUNE  [H] PITCH BEND RANGE. Using the Modulation Wheel The Modulation function applies a vibrato effect to notes played on the keyboard. By default, this is applied to the keyboard parts (RIGHT 1, 2 and LEFT).

NOTE To avoid accidentally applying modulation, make sure the MODULATION Wheel is set at minimum (down) position before you start playing. You can set whether the effects caused by the MODULATION Wheel will be applied or not to each of the keyboard part: [FUNCTION]  [D] CONTROLLER  TAB [E][F] KEYBOARD/PANEL  [A]/[B] 2 MODULATION WHEEL.
