Pitch Bend

The PITCH BEND wheel to the left of the keyboard allows the note

pitch to be bent up or down — roll the wheel away from you to bend up,
and toward you to bend down (this situation can be reversed, as described
below). When the PITCH BEND wheel is moved almost all the way in
either direction, the current pitch bend range value will appear on the
MULTI DISPLAY (see below).

Setting the Pitch Bend Range

The maximum amount of pitch bend produced by the PITCH BEND wheel can be set anywhere from

±

1

semitone to

±

12 semitones (i.e. plus or minus one octave).

To set the pitch bend range, roll the PITCH BEND wheel all the way in

either direction so that the current range value appears on the MULTI DIS-
PLAY.

Set the Pitch Bend Range ......................................................................................................................

While holding the PITCH BEND wheel at its maximum position, use

the [

+

] and [

] buttons or the number buttons to select the desired pitch

bend range. The pitch bend range value is displayed in semitones (

12

through 12). If a minus setting is selected pitch bend wheel operation is
reversed — i.e. roll the wheel away from you to lower pitch. The default
pitch bend range (02) can be instantly recalled by pressing [

+

] and

[

] buttons simultaneously.

Sustain

If you have plugged an optional Yamaha FC4 or FC5 footswitch into the

PSR-410’s rear-panel SUSTAIN PEDAL jack, the footswitch can be used
as a damper pedal, controlling sustain. Press the pedal to sustain notes after
the keys are released.
