Basic Operations Using the PITCH BEND Wheel As its name suggests, the PITCH BEND wheel lets you "bend" the pitch of a sound. This makes it possible to add a touch of realism to saxophone and other tones. To use the PITCH BEND wheel 1 While holding down a keyboard key with your right hand, use your left hand to rotate the PITCH BEND wheel up and down. • Releasing the PITCH BEND wheel returns the note to its original pitch. NOTE • With saxophone and electrical guitar tones, the most realistic sounding effects can be produced if you play notes and operate the PITCH BEND wheel simultaneously. • See "Pitch Bend Range (Initial Default: 12)" on page E82 for changing the bend range of the PITCH BEND wheel. • Never turn on keyboard power while the PITCH BEND wheel is rotated. Using the MODULATION Modulation applies vibrato, which modulates the pitch of a note. It works best with notes that are sustained (held) by keeping a keyboard key held down, especially when playing the melody with a violin or other similar tone. You can modify the modulation effect using DSP parameter 0 through 7. For more information, see "DSP Parameters" on page E-33. • WK-3500 To use the MODULATION Wheel 1 While playing melody notes with your right hand, rotate the MODULATION wheel with your left hand to apply vibrato to the notes. • The amount of vibrato applied depends on how far you rotate the MODULATION wheel upwards. Setting the wheel to its neutral position (rotated as far downwards as it can go) turns vibrato off. • WK-3100/WK-3000 To use the MODULATION button 1 While holding down a keyboard key with your right hand, use your left hand to press the MODULATION button. • Vibrato is applied as long as the MODULATION button is depressed. NOTE • Modulation can be used to add greater expression to sustained melody notes being played using a violin, synthetic reed, or other similar tone. • Modulation affects different tones in different ways. 735A-E-027C WK3100_e_10-25.p65 25 04.3.26, 0:10 PM E-25
