Features Useful When Playing
Applying Pitch Changes to Notes (Pitch Bend)
Move the BENDER wheel [1] (up or down) to transmit Pitch Bend messages, and apply
subtle pitch changes to notes.
* The Pitch Bend range varies depending on how it is set on the sound module.
Modifying the Sound of Notes: Modulation (CC 01)
Moving the MODULATION wheel [1] (up or down) will transmit Modulation messages,
changing the sound in real time (usually by adding a vibrato effect).
* The change obtained with this message will vary depending on the settings for your sound module (the
section which handles modulation), or the Tone selected.
Adding a Sustain Effect to Notes: Hold 1 (CC 64)
After connecting a pedal switch, you can depress it while playing to send the Hold 1 message
(CC 64), causing notes that were playing to be sustained. If an electric organ or other
normally sustained type sound was being sounded, the notes will continue for as long as you
have the pedal down. The pedal switch should be connected to the SUSTAIN SWITCH jack
[21] on the rear of the unit.
Depressing the pedal will transmit an ON value (127), while releasing it will transmit an OFF
value (0).
* The Hold 1 (CC 64) function can be assigned to the DATA ENTRY slider [5], allowing you to obtain
the damper effect by moving the slider.
