PLAY Mode
What is PLAY mode?
This is the mode that’s used when performing. When you play the keyboard, note
messages will be transmitted, causing your MIDI device to produce sound.
In PLAY mode you can use the keyboard to play a connected sound module. You can
also use functions such as the [Pitch Bend/Modulation] lever to change the pitch of the
currently sounding notes (Pitch Bend) or apply a vibrato eect (Modulation), and change
the octave (Octave Shift).
Functionality in PLAY mode
Performing
You can transmit MIDI messages by operating the keyboard,
[Pitch Bend/Modulation] lever, [C1] [C2] knobs, [S1] [S2] buttons,
D-BEAM controller, hold pedal, and expression pedal.
