7. Various useful functions

Temporarily changing the pitch
of a note (Pitch Bend)
Move the BENDER/MODULATION lever
[1] left or right to transmit Pitch Bend
messages, and apply subtle pitch changes
to the notes you are playing.
Note: The Pitch Bend range (amount of pitch
change) varies depending on the setting of the
Part or module being controlled.

Adding vibrato (Modulation)

Moving the BENDER/MODULATION
lever [1] forward (away from you) will
transmit Modulation messages (CC01),
changing the sound in real time (usually
by adding a vibrato effect).
Note: The change obtained with this message
will vary depending on the settings for your
sound module. In some cases, the filter or vol-
ume will be modulated, producing a WahWah
or tremolo effect.
Holding the notes your play
(Sustain)
Connect an optional DP-2, DP-6 or BOSS
FS-5U footswitch to the SUSTAIN
SWITCH jack. Press it while playing one
or several notes to send Hold 1 messages
(CC64), causing the notes to be sustained.
If an electric organ or another sustained
sound is used, the notes will continue for
as long as you have the pedal down.
Pressing the pedal will transmit an ON
value (127), while releasing it will transmit
an OFF value (0).
Note: The CC 64 (Hold 1) function can be
assigned to the DATA ENTRY slider, allowing
you to obtain the damper effect by moving the
slider.
