Using the Joystick
By moving the joystick in a horizontal (X) or vertical (Y) direction, you can bend the notes up or down, or apply modula-
tion effects. Move the joystick to control the sound while playing the keyboard.
X: Pitch Bend
Bends notes up (by moving the joystick to the right) or down (by moving the joystick to the
left) while playing the keyboard. This is applied to all keyboard parts (RIGHT 1–3 and
LEFT).
Y: Modulation
The Modulation function applies a vibrato effect to notes played on the keyboard. By
default, this is applied to the keyboard parts RIGHT 1–3. You can set whether the modula-
tion effects produced by the joystick will be applied or not to each keyboard part indepen-
dently: [MENU] [Keyboard/Joystick] [Joystick] Modulation (+), Modulation (-).
Applying sustain to the RIGHT 1–3 Voices
The [SUSTAIN] button turns the Sustain function on and off. When on, all notes played on
the keyboard with the right-hand parts (RIGHT 1, 2, 3) have a longer sustain.

• The maximum pitch bend range can
be changed on the display called up
via [MENU] [Keyboard/Joystick]
[Joystick].
• The Pitch Bend effect may not be
applied to the LEFT part during Style
playback, depending on the Style
setting.
NOTE
The Modulation effects may not be
applied to the LEFT part during Style
playback, depending on the Style set-
ting.
NOTE
Holding the Modulation value (MODULATION HOLD)
The Joystick is self-centering when released. However, you can hold the current Modula-
tion value by pressing the [MODULATION HOLD] button.
• If the [MODULATION HOLD] button is turned on while the Joystick is moved, the
Modulation value (Y-axis value) is fixed and held even after the Joystick is released.
• If the [MODULATION HOLD] button is turned off, the Modulation value returns to the
default value for the Voice of each Part. (The position of the Joystick at that time is
ignored.)
