When the pitch bend range is set to "2," for example, rolling the wheel all the way up will produce a maximum pitch rise of 2 semitones (one whole tone), and rolling it all the way down will produce a maximum pitch drop of the same amount (2 semitones or one whole tone). With the highest possible pitch bend range setting of "12," the pitch bend range becomes +/-1 octave. 1 Press the [FUNCTION] button a number of times until "PBRange" appears.

Play with the Pitch
Bend Wheel
The [PITCH BEND] wheel can be used to add smooth pitch variations to notes you play on the
keyboard.
Roll the wheel upward to raise the pitch, or downward to lower the pitch. When you release the
wheel it will automatically return to center position and the keyboard pitch will return to normal.
The range of the pitch bend wheel can be adjusted in semitone increments. When the pitch bend
range is set to “2,” for example, rolling the wheel all the way up will produce a maximum pitch rise
of 2 semitones (one whole tone), and rolling it all the way down will produce a maximum pitch drop
of the same amount (2 semitones or one whole tone). With the highest possible pitch bend range
setting of “12,” the pitch bend range becomes +/-1 octave.
Press the [FUNCTION] button a number of times until “PBRange”
appears.
Use the number buttons [0]-[9], [+], [-] to set the Pitch Bend range as
required.
