Chapter 1 Playing the Keyboard
Changing the Sound’s Pitch in Real
Time (Pedal Control)
Connecting the included pedal to the Damper jack allows you to use the
pedal to alter the sounds’ pitches.
fig.01-23
1.
Hold down the [Pedal Control] button, getting its indicator
to light.
Try fingering the keyboard.
When you press the Damper pedal, the pitch gradually rises. With the pedal
fully pressed, the pitch is raised two semitones(fixed). The sound returns to
its original pitch when you release the pedal. You can adjust how much the
pitch is raised by changing the pedal depth.
2.
To undo the pitch bend effect, press the [Pedal Control]
button once more so the button’s light goes out.
You can set the Damper pedal to lower the pitch when pressed. You can also
assign the modulation effect to the pedal.
Refer to “Changing the Work of the Pedal Control” (p. 44).
What “
Pitch Bend” and “Modulation” Do
The effect that gradually raises or lowers the pitch is known as pitch bend.
The regular, cyclical wavering of the pitch is referred to as modulation or
vibrato.

NOTE
The damper pedal effect
cannot be applied while the
[Pedal Control] button is
lit.
The function does not work
properly when a pedal
(other than expression or
half-damper pedal) is used.
Additionally, when
connecting the included
pedal, be sure set the
switch on the included
pedal to “Continuous.”
NOTE
With some sounds, the
modulation effect may not
b
e applied, or the amount
of effect you get may be
less or more than what you
get with other sounds.
