Various Performance Features
Velocity/Aftertouch
The force with which you play the keyboard, or the “velocity” with which you play, can affect
the volume or timbre of a sound. Aftertouch—downward pressure you apply to a key after
playing a note—can also affect the sound.

Pitch Bend/Modulation Lever
While playing the keyboard, move the lever to the left to lower the pitch of the currently
selected patch, or to the right to raise its pitch. This is known as pitch bend . You can also apply
vibrato by gently pushing the lever away from you. This is known as modulation .
If you push the lever away from you and at the same time move it to the right or left, you can
apply both effects at once.

Octave Shift (OCT)
You can shift the pitch of the keyboard in one-octave units over a range of +/-3 octaves.
Use KEYBOARD [-OCT] or [+OCT] at the left of the screen to make the desired setting.
To return to the original setting, press both buttons simultaneously.
Transpose
You can transpose the pitch of the keyboard in semitone units (-5– +6).
At the left of the display, turn on the KEYBOARD [TRANSPOSE] button, and then use the
[-OCT] or [+OCT] button to specify the desired transposition.
To return to the original setting, press both buttons simultaneously.
There are two types of
aftertouch: Polyphonic
Aftertouch, which applies
aftertouch to individual notes,
and Channel Aftertouch,
which applies aftertouch to an
entire MIDI channel (p. 251).
The Fantom-G can output the
MIDI data for Polyphonic
Aftertouch using the pads, and
Channel Aftertouch using the
keyboard.
For details on the setting, refer
to p. 288.
