Special Features
USING PITCH BEND
Your keyboard has a pitch bend feature
that lets you bend a note by altering its
pitch. Pitch bend lets you create realistic
effects for sounds such as a saxophone,
other reed instruments, and guitar
tones.
To use pitch bend, rotate and hold
PITCH BEND
while holding down a key.
The pitch of the key you pressed slides
smoothly up and down. Release
PITCH
BEND
to stop the effect.
Adjusting the Pitch Bend
Range
You can adjust the bend range of pitch
controls from 1 to 12 semitones.
Note:
The keyboard automatically se-
lects a bend range of 2 semitones the
first time you turn it on after connecting
power. Each time you turn it on after
that, it recalls the last selected bend
range.
Follow these steps to adjust the pitch
bend range.
1. Repeatedly press
TRANSPOSE/
TUNE/MIDI
until a number and
Bend
appear.
2. Within 5 seconds, repeatedly press
+
or
–
until the pitch bend range you
want appears, or enter a number
from

.
USING A SUSTAIN PEDAL
For added flexibility and control as you
make music, you can connect a sustain
pedal (not supplied), available through
your local RadioShack store. A sustain
pedal lets you sustain or soften the key-
board’s sound, and even start or stop an
auto-rhythm.
To connect a sustain pedal to your key-
board, insert the pedal’s plug into
AS-
SIGNABLE JACK
on the back of the
keyboard.
You can adjust the keyboard to these
settings when you use a sustain pedal.
Follow these steps to change the
AS-
SIGNABLE JACK
jack’s setting.
1. Repeatedly press
TRANSPOSE/
TUNE/MIDI
until
Bend
appears.
Then repeatedly press until the
current setting for
ASSIGNABLE
JACK
and
Jack
appear.
2. Within 5 seconds, repeatedly press
+
or
–
until the desired setting (
SUS
,
SoS
,
SFt
, or
rHy
) appears.
Press the sustain pedal as you play to
hear the desired sound or to start/stop
the selected auto-rhythm.
