KR-11 – Pitch Bend and Transpose
ENGLISH
ENGLISH ENGLISH ENGLISH
5.4 Pitch Bend and Transpose
The KR-11’s left pedal (also known as “Soft” pedal)
can be used to bend the notes you play. To do so, you
must assign it the Pitch Bend function (see “Pedal
functions” on page 47 for details) and specify whether
you want to bend the notes upward (“Bend Up”) or
downward (“Bend Down”). You must set the “Pitch
Bend Range” (see page 49), which is the interval (or
number of semitones) by which the notes will be
shifted when you press the Soft pedal.
If you are playing a C and want to shift it to D by
pressing the pedal, set Pitch Bend Range to “2” (two
semitones or one whole tone) and select “Bend Up” as
Pedal Assign function. To bend to the G below the C
you are playing, set the Range value to “5” and Pedal
Assign to “Bend Down” (select “7” and “Bend Up” to
shift to the G above the C).
If it is difficult to play a song in a particular key, select
a different one with the TRANSPOSE [b]/[#] buttons.
Each time you press the [b] button, the key will be
lowered a semitone; each time you press the [#] but-
ton, the key will be raised a semitone. Pressing the [b]/
[#] buttons simultaneously will return the song to the
original key.
Note: The transposition interval can also be set via the dis-
play. See “Key Touch/Key Transpose” on page 48.
