Controlling the Keyboard SoundsE-18Octave Shift lets you raise or lower the pitch of the keyboardnotes in octave units.• The octave shift setting range is –2 to +2 octaves.• When using Split (page E-15), you can individually set theleft and right keyboard ranges to the pitches you want.1. Keep pressing cp until the screen shown belowappears on the display.If you want to use Split, turn on Split before pressing cp.• If you do not perform any operation for a few secondsafter this screen appears, the display will return to theprevious screen automatically.2. Use the br (10-key) [–] and [+] keys to shift theoctave.3. Press cp.4. Press cp again.You can use the pitch bend wheel to slide the pitch of notessmoothly upwards and downwards. This technique makes itpossible to produce effects that are similar to soundsproduced when bending notes on a saxophone or electricguitar.1. While playing a note on thekeyboard, rotate the pitch bendwheel on the left of the keyboardupwards or downwards.The amount the note bends depends on howmuch you rotate the pitch bend wheel.• Do not have the pitch bend wheel rotatedas you turn on the Digital Keyboard.Use the following procedure to specify how much the pitch ofthe note changes whenever the pitch bend wheel is rotatedupwards or downwards. You can specify a range from 0 to 12semitones (one octave).1. Press ct (FUNCTION) and then use the br(10-key) [4] (o) and [6] (p) keys to display“OTHER” (page E-7).2. Press br (10-key) [9] (ENTER) key.3. Use the br (10-key) [4] (o) and [6] (p) keysto display “Bend Rng”.4. Use the br (10-key) [–] and [+] keys to changethe range.Octave Shift• Split On : This step affects the right side keyboardrange only.• Split Off : This step affects the entire keyboard range.• Split On : The screen shown below will appear.
