Quick Start Guide Using Performances Bending Notes Using the pitch bend wheel located at the left of the keyboard, you can bend the pitch of notes up and down as you play. Notes are bent upward when you push the pitch bend wheel away from you and vice versa. This wheel is self-centering and will, therefore, automatically return to the neutral position when released. Why not take a moment now to see how the pitch bend wheel can change the sound of the notes you play. Notes are bent upward Notes are bent downward Pitch bend wheel In addition, if you press the [TRANSPOSE] button located at the right of the control panel to call up the Transpose screen, you can turn Knob 1 to raise or lower the pitch of the entire keyboard in steps of one semitone. The keyboard can be transposed upward or downward by up to 12 semitones in this way. 5SBOTQPTF Adjusting the Master Compressor & Master Equalizer The Master Compressor block and the Master Equalizer block are used to adjust the dynamics and tone of the sounds produced by Performances. Settings for these blocks are stored separately from Performances; therefore, they affect the stage piano as a whole and can be adjusted to ensure perfect matching with the environment in which it is played. To see how these blocks affect the sound of your CP5 or CP50, use the [MASTER COMPRESSOR] button and the [MASTER EQUALIZER] knobs located at the right of the control panel as described below. 1 Press and hold the [MASTER COMPRESSOR] button (for at least one second).
