Using the Joystick
By default, by moving the joystick in a horizontal (X) or vertical (Y) direction, you can bend the pitches up or down, or
apply modulation effects. Move the joystick to control the sound while playing the keyboard.
X: Pitch Bend
Bends pitches 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 assign various parameters to control with the joystick. For details, refer to the Ref-
erence Manual on the website.
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 effects of the Pitch Bend and the

depending on the Style setting.
NOTE
Holding the values (JOYSTICK HOLD)
The Joystick is self-centering when released. However, you can hold the current values by
pressing the [JOYSTICK HOLD] button.
• If the [JOYSTICK HOLD] button is turned on while the Joystick is moved, the values
are fixed and held even after the Joystick is released. By default, only the value of the Y-
axis is fixed and held. For details, refer to the Reference Manual on the website.
• If the [JOYSTICK HOLD] button is turned off, the held values are released.
