Use the cursor buttons and the value dial to change the value.
Pitch bend settings can be made individually for each part. In the screen, Voc indicates the Vocal Designer
setting, Ens indicates the Ensemble setting, and B&P indicates the Bass and Percussion setting.
For some sounds, not all items can be set. In this case the value will be shown as “---.”
Parameter Value Description
RANGE 0–12 Specifi es the degree of pitch change in semitones when the Pitch Bend lever is all the way right/left.
For example, if this parameter is set to “12,” the pitch will rise one octave when the pitch bend lever
is moved to the right-most position.
For the SuperNATURAL brass (BRASS) sounds, setting the bend range (RANGE) to 3 or higher will
simulate the discontinuous pitch change that is typical of brass instruments, instead of the normal
smooth pitch change. When you apply a downward bend, the sound will behave in the manner
distinctive of brass instruments, meaning that the volume will also decrease.

TYPE
(VOCAL DESIGNER and
GUITAR, OTHERS, PAD,
SYNTH STRINGS, CHOIR,
JAZZ SCAT ENSEMBLE tone
only)
NORMAL The pitch bend lever will operate in the
conventional way (movement of the lever
will produce smooth changes in pitch).
CHROMATIC The pitch bend lever will change the pitch
in semitone steps, simulating the sound
of vocal correction software.
MODE
(VOCAL DESIGNER and
ENSEMBLE only)
NORMAL The pitch bend lever will operate in the
conventional way.
LOCK1 In this mode, pitch bend will not be
applied to a new note that is played while
the pitch of a previously played note is
already being bent. By using this setting
in conjunction with playing legato, you
can create portamento-like eff ects.
LOCK2 Operation is essentially the same as
LOCK1, but there will be no pitch change
in response to the pitch bend lever
returning.
COMBI
(BRASS tone
only)
This mode allows you to express the subtle pitch changes that are distinctive of a SuperNATURAL
brass instrument.
The proportion of breath noise will increase when you operate the bender in the Down direction.
This lets you freely control the breathiness at the beginning or end of a note.
