Playing Tones

Notes:

When the keyboard is split, only the right hand area will use the dual

tones.

You can set the volume level for each tone layer in the mixer. (Please

refer to Mixer in the function menu.)

Pitch Bend

Use the 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.

With the pitch bend wheel, you can easily imitate the pitch bend effect of

the guitar, violin, saxophone or other instruments.

Transpose

This function will shift the pitch of the entire keyboard in semitone steps.
