Various Settings
■ Changing the Bend Range
(Pedal Setting)
The effect of smoothly raising or lowering the pitch of a
played note is called the “bender effect.”
With the KR105, you can assign the bender function to a
pedal, then apply the bender effect by depressing and
releasing the pedal.
You can also make a setting that determines how much the
pitch of the note changes when you apply the bender. The
maximum range of change in pitch is called the “bend
range.”
At Step 3 “Procedure” (p. 124), touch .

setting.
You can set this to any value within a range of 1 to 12 (in
half-tone steps, up to one octave).
■ Changing How Chords Are
Played and Specified
(Arranger Config)
This changes the settings determining how Music Styles are
played, and how the keys are pressed to specify chords.
What are the Chord Tone and Bass Tone?
When the Automatic Accompaniment is stopped, and Sync
Start (p. 43) is turned off, chords are produced when you
play in the left-hand side of the keyboard. This is called the
“chord tone,” and the root of the chord that is played at the
same time is called the “bass tone.”
