Pitch Bend Control
1
MODE
Determines the range of the Pitch Bend control. The NARROW
setting results in a small amount of pitch variation (within ±two
and half semitones); WIDE results in a large amount of pitch
variation (within ±one octave). (This control is the same as for
Tempo below; the two cannot be used independently.)
2
PITCH BEND
Selects the voice sections to which the Pitch Bend function will
be applied. Pitch Bend can be selected independently or together
for Lead Voices and Upper Voices 1 and 2.
When on, pressing the pedal with your toe raises the pitch;
pressing it with your heel lowers the pitch.
Tempo Control
1
MODE
Determines the range of the Tempo control. The NARROW
setting results in a small amount of tempo variation (70%-140%);
WIDE results in a large amount of tempo variation (50%-200%).
(This control is the same as for Pitch Bend above; the two cannot
be used independently.)
3
TEMPO
On/off switch for control over the rhythm tempo. When on,
pressing the pedal with your toe speeds up the tempo; pressing
it with your heel slows it down. Releasing the pedal from either
position causes it to return to center, restoring the original tempo.
