Chapter 2 Creating Your Own Settings (Patches)
* When “POLY” (p. 14) is selected as the transmission mode,
the changes in pitch with Glide and Pitch Bend occur in
semitone steps whenever two or more notes are played
together, and Vibrato does not function.
* MIDI Pitch Bend messages are used for Glide and Pitch Bend.
If the change in pitch exceeds the BEND RANGE (p. 23) set
for Glide or Pitch Bend, the Glide or Pitch Bend is cut off and
retriggered.
When using Glide or Pitch Bend, have the bend range set to 24
or Chromatic (C1–C3).
However, if BEND RANGE MAX (p. 32) is set to 12, Glide
and Pitch Bend are retriggered if the pitch rises or falls an
octave or more.
u4: Glide Up 4/d4: Glide Down 4
When the foot switch is pressed, the
pitch changes continuously up (down)
to a perfect fifth. Release the pedal to
return to the original pitch.
u5–u8: Glide Up 5–8/d5–d8: Glide Down 5–8
When the foot switch is pressed, the
pitch changes continuously up (down)
to one octave. Release the pedal to re-
turn to the original pitch.
The higher the numeral set, the less
time it takes for the change in pitch to
be completed.
V1–V4: Vibrato 1–4
Pressing the pedal applies vibrato (an
effect that changes the pitch cyclically).
The effect deepens as the value is in-
creased
* When using the expression pedal for
this effect, the depth of the vibrato
changes with the pedal angle.
b1: Pitch Bend 1
When the pedal is pressed, the pitch
changes up to a perfect fourth (max.).
b2: Pitch Bend 2
When the pedal is pressed, the pitch
changes up to a perfect fifth (max.).
b2: Pitch Bend 3
When the pedal is pressed, the pitch
changes up to one octave (max.).
b4: Pitch Bend 4
When the pedal is pressed, the pitch
changes down to a semi tone (max.).
b5: Pitch Bend 5
When the pedal is pressed, the pitch
changes down to a whole tone (max.).
b6: Pitch Bend 6
When the pedal is pressed, the pitch
changes down to one octave (max.).
