PITCH DOWN
PITCH UP
Add Pitch Bend to your playing
While you play, you can add Pitch Bend to your keyboard
sounds by using the [PITCH BEND] buttons located to the
left of the control panel. You can bend the pitch 2 semitones
above or below normal using these controls. Hold down the
top [PITCH BEND] button to bend the notes up. Hold down
the bottom [PITCH BEND] button to bend the notes down. The
pitch returns to normal when you release the button. Pitch
Bend is a “glide” (or glissato) effect which simulates the effect
heard in certain instruments (trombone, guitar, violin, etc.).
Play with Effects or bypass them
While you play, one or both effects (Reverb and/or Chorus)
will be shown active by the small black indicator arrow at the
top of the display. This means that the current Performance is
being processed by one or both effect types. By means of the
[REVERB] and [CHORUS] buttons on the extreme right hand
side of the control panel, you can turn the effect on or off at
will. When the small black display arrow is shown pointing
to the REVERB and/or CHORUS indicator, the current voices
are playing with the effects. When one or both indicators
are off, the respective effect is bypassed and the sounds play
with no effect.
To restore the effect, press the same button again. 8
Reverbs and 8 Chorus (Modulation effects) are available to
choose from and both effects units have an independent effect
level control. For further details refer to the section entitled
“The Digital Effects” on page 14.
The [TOUCH] button is a general function which affects the
keyboard globally. The gk360 keyboard is Velocity Sensitive;
in other words, the harder you play on the keys, the louder
the sound becomes, as occurs in an acoustic piano. If you
prefer to play on the keyboard without TOUCH RESPONSE,
you can disable the function by pressing the [TOUCH] button.
The small black arrow pointing to the Touch indicator will
turn off. Press the [TOUCH] button again to restore TOUCH
RESPONSE to the keyboard.
