Performance Functions and Effects A performance using a function that produces a sound such as DRUM ROLL can’t be recorded in a Song. Pitch Bend and Modulation Lever The Pitch Bend/Modulation lever located at the left of the keyboard can be used to apply two types of effect to the sound you’re playing in Keyboard mode. Pitch Bend is an effect that lowers the pitch of the sound you’re playing when you move the lever toward the left, or raises it when you move the lever toward the right. Modulation is an effect that applies vibrato to the sound you’re playing when you push the lever away from yourself. If the MFX type is ROTARY, this will switch the rotational speed instead of Modulation. fig.bendlever.eps Modifying the Sound (ANALOG MODIFY) You can use the two ANALOG MODIFY knobs to modify the sound of the GW-8. Use ANALOG MODIFY [SELECT] to choose the effect that the knobs will have. MASTER EQ settings are stored in System settings (p. 46), and the other settings are stored in the Tone settings of the Performance (p. 41). Adjusting the MASTER EQ If you press ANALOG MODIFY [SELECT] to select MASTER EQ, the two knobs will operate as [LOW] and [HIGH] knobs. Master EQ is applied to the overall output of the GW-8 that is sent from OUTPUT and PHONES. Pitch Bend Modulation Knob Explanation LOW GAIN Adjusts the volume of the low-frequency range. Pitch Bend Modulation HIGH GAIN Adjusts the volume of the high-frequency range. If you press the lever away from yourself while moving it to left or right, both effects will be applied at the same time. The extent of the pitch change can be assigned for each Tone. For details, refer to “Pitch Bend Range” (p. 41). If you want to keep these settings, press [WRITE] to save them in “SYSTEM.” “Bend Mode” (p. 46) 37
