The velocity—the force with which you play the keyboard—can
affect the volume or timbre of a sound.

While playing the keyboard, move the lever to the left to lower the
pitch of the currently selected patch, or to the right to raise its pitch
(

If you push the lever away from you and at the same time move it to
