Basic Operation Quick Guide Bending Notes-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.

Adding a Vibrato Effect to the Sound-Modulation Wheel The Modulation wheel applies vibrato to the sound. The more you move this wheel up, the greater the effect that is applied to the sound. Try out the Modulation wheel with various Preset Voices while playing the keyboard. Maximum Minimum Modulation wheel n Keep in mind that many of the Preset Voices are not set with a Modulation effect. (This is to ensure the most natural sound on these acoustic instrument Voices.) However, the Modulation wheel can be effectively used to control user-programmable effects, as well as alter the sounds of a connected MIDI tone generator. n Various functions can be assigned to the Modulation Wheel. Refer to the "Modulation" parameter in the Voice Edit menu (page 62). n To avoid accidentally applying Modulation or other effects to the current Voice, make sure the Modulation Wheel is set to minimum before you start playing. 34 CP300 Owner's Manual
