1.2.6. PITCH wheel
The Pitch Bend wheel is used for raising or lowering the pitch of a voice during performance. The
range of pitch values depends on the sound generator (sound card or module) being used.
1.2.7. MODULATION wheel
It is very common to use the modulation wheel to change the intensity of effects：mainly
vibrato(pitch change),tremolo(change the volume),and modulation(change the tone).The
modulation wheel produces a vibrato effect shortly after the sound is generated. It is most
effective for voice such as saxophone strings and Oboe.
1.2.8. Reset
When you want to restore the factory parameters . Hold press【SELECT/ENTER】button and
【DEMO PLAY/STOP】button before EASY PIANO E2 power on.
