Applying Voice Effects; Modulation] Wheel - Yamaha PSR-S710 Owner's Manual

Using the Modulation Wheel
The Modulation function applies a vibrato effect to notes played on the keyboard.
By default, this is applied to the keyboard parts RIGHT 1 and 2. Moving the
MODULATION wheel down (toward you) decreases the depth of the effect, while
moving it up (away from you) increases it.
You can set whether the effects caused by the MODULATION Wheel will be
applied or not to each of the keyboard part: [FUNCTION] → [D] CONTROLLER
→ TAB [E][F] KEYBOARD/PANEL → [A]/[B] 2 MODULATION WHEEL.

Applying Voice Effects

The PSR-S910/S710 features a sophisticated multi-processor effect system which
can add extraordinary depth and expression to your sound. This effect system can be
turned on or off by using the following buttons.
• HARMONY/ECHO
The Harmony/Echo types are applied to the right-hand Voices. Refer to "Applying
Harmony to Your Right-hand Melody" on page 36.
• TOUCH
This button turns the touch response of the keyboard on or off. When OFF, the same
volume is produced no matter how strongly or softly you play the keyboard.
• SUSTAIN
When this Sustain function is on, all notes played on the keyboard with right-hand
part (RIGHT 1 and 2) have a longer sustain.
• MONO
When this button is on, the part's Voice is played monophonically (only one note at a
time). Using the MONO mode lets you play single, lead sounds (such as brass
instruments) more realistically. It also lets you expressively control the Portamento
effect (depending on the selected Voice) by playing legato.
When this button is off, the part's Voice played polyphonically.
These three effect systems are applied to the
currently selected keyboard part (RIGHT 1,
2, or LEFT)
NOTE
Depending on the selected Voice, the
MODULATION wheel may control vol-
ume, filter or some other parameter
instead of vibrato.
NOTE
To avoid accidentally applying modu-
lation, make sure the MODULATION
Wheel is set at minimum (down)
position before you start playing.
NOTE
The effects caused by using the MOD-
ULATION wheel may not be applied to
the LEFT part during Style playback
depending on the Style setting.
NOTE
Portamento is a function that creates a
smooth transition in pitch from the
first note played on the keyboard to
the next.
