Playing Voices Transpose This function allows the overall pitch of the PSR-740/640 to be transposed up or down by a maximum of one octave in semitone increments. 1 Press the [TRANSPOSE] button. 2 Set the transposition. Use the data dial, the [+/YES] button, the [-/NO] button or the number buttons [1]-[0]. • The Transpose function cannot be applied when a drum kit is the selected voice (page 31). • Press the [+/YES] and [-/NO] buttons simultaneously to instantly reset the transpose value to "0." • The new TRANSPOSE value will take effect from the next key played. • Minus values can be entered by using the number buttons while holding the [-/NO] button. Pitch Bend Wheel Use the PSR-740/640 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 wheel is self-centering and will automatically return to normal pitch when released. • The maximum pitch bend range can be set via the Pitch Bend Range function in the Utility function group (page 139). Modulation Wheel (PSR-740) The Modulation function applies a vibrato effect to notes played on the keyboard (R1, R2, L voices). Moving the MODULATION wheel all the way towards yourself minimizes the depth of the effect, while rotating it away from yourself increases it. • In order to avoid accidentally applying modulation when you don't intend to, set the depth at its minimum setting. • You can also assign other functions to the MODULATION Wheel (page 139). 30 28
