Bending Notes
Using the pitch bend wheel located at the left of the keyboard, you can bend the pitch of notes up and down as you play.
Notes are bent upward when you push the pitch bend wheel away from you and vice versa. This wheel is self-centering
and will, therefore, automatically return to the neutral position when released. Why not take a moment now to see how the
pitch bend wheel can change the sound of the notes you play.
Turning Performance Blocks On & Off
Once a Performance has been selected for playing, the various blocks and units from which it is constructed (see page
19) can be freely turned on and off by pressing the corresponding buttons. In specific terms, the blocks and units that
can be enabled and disabled in this way are Piano 1, Piano 2, Pre-Amplifier 1, Pre-Amplifier 2, Modulation Effect 1,
Modulation Effect 2, Power-Amplifier / Compressor 1, Power-Amplifier / Compressor 2, Reverb, and the Master Equalizer.
Whenever a block or unit is turned on or off, the corresponding button will light up or go out accordingly. It should be
noted, however, that the entire Part 1 or Part 2 will be turned on or off as a result of pressing the [PIANO 1] or [PIANO 2]
button, and whenever a [PRE-AMPLIFIER] button is pressed, the actual effect will depend on the corresponding piano
type (as shown below).
Furthermore, the Output parameter from each Power-Amplifier / Compressor block is unaffected by pressing of the
[POWER-AMPLIFIER/COMPRESSOR 1] or [POWER-AMPLIFIER/COMPRESSOR 2] button; specifically, this parameter
remains enabled even when all other parameters from the corresponding block are disabled.
To hear how the various blocks and units shape the sound, try turning them on and off as described above while playing
the CP1.
