Playing sounds
 
The SH-201’s keyboard produces volume (or brightness) changes in response to your playing dynamics. 
The strength with which you play the keyboard is called the “key velocity.”
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
fig.Bender.e
 
• Moving the lever toward the left lowers the pitch of the notes 
you’re playing (“Pitch Bend”); moving the lever toward the 
right raises the pitch.
• Pushing the lever away from yourself adds vibrato 
(“Modulation”) to the notes you’re playing.
• Moving the lever to left or right while pushing it away from 
yourself applies pitch bend and modulation at the same time.
 
Pitch bend range
 
Moving the lever all the way to the left (or right) lowers (or raises) the pitch by a whole step (two semitones).
 
 
 
 
Modulation speed and shape
 
You can shift the range of the keyboard in one-octave steps, over a maximum of three octaves upward or 
downward.
For example, if you’re using your right hand to play a synth bass sound, shifting the keyboard pitch down by one 
octave will make it more convenient to play the keyboard.
 
fig.OCT-buttons
 
• Press the OCT UP button to shift the pitch upward. Each press shifts the keyboard one octave upward.
• Press the OCT DOWN button to shift the pitch downward. Each press shifts the keyboard one octave downward.
The OCT UP button’s indicator will light if the keyboard pitch range has been raised above the normal range. 
The OCT DOWN button’s indicator will light if the range has been lowered.
You can return to the normal range by simultaneously pressing the OCT UP and OCT DOWN buttons. (The 
indicators for both buttons go out.)
