Yamaha 1100 Manual Do Utilizador

■ VARIATION

This control changes the Variation effect settings, letting you alter some aspect of the effect, depending on the selected 
type. For example, when the Rotary Speaker effect is selected (page 127), this lets you switch the rotor speed between 
slow and fast. 

■ HARMONY/ECHO

This control adds Harmony or Echo effects to the voices played on the right hand section 
of the keyboard (page 146).

■ MONO

This control determines whether the voice is played monophonically (only one note at a 
time) or polyphonically for each part (MAIN/LAYER/LEFT). This is set to MONO when the 
lamp is lit, and set to polyphonic when the lamp is off. When set to MONO, only the last 
note played will sound. This lets you play wind instrument voices more realistically. 
Depending on the selected voice, the MONO setting also lets you effectively use the 
Portamento effect, when playing in legato. 

■ LEFT HOLD

This function causes the left part voice to be held even when the keys are released — the 
same effect as when the sustain pedal is pressed. This function is especially effective when 
used with the auto accompaniment. For example, if you play and release a chord in the 
auto accompaniment section of the keyboard (with the left part on and the Left voice set 
to Strings), the strings part sustains, adding a natural richness to the overall 
accompaniment sound.

Use the PSR-2100/1100 PITCH BEND 
wheel to bend notes up (roll the wheel away 
from you) or down (roll the wheel toward 
you) while playing the keyboard. The PITCH 
BEND wheel is self-centering and will 
automatically return to normal pitch when 
released.

The Modulation function applies a vibrato 
effect to notes played on the keyboard (PSR-
2100). Moving the MODULATION wheel 
all the way towards yourself minimizes the 
depth of the effect, while rotating it away 
from yourself increases it.

The [UPPER OCTAVE] button allows the MAIN and LAYER parts to be simultaneously 
transposed up or down by one octave.

You can add special empha-
sis to melody lines you play 
over chords by using the 
Layer function with a mono-
phonic voice. Set the Main 
voice to play polyphonically 
and set the Layer voice to 
play monophonically 
(MONO). In this case, the 
melody you play — including 
the top notes of any chords 
— sounds monophonically.
Try this using the following 
voices. 
MAIN voice

: Brass Section 

(polyphonic) + LAYER voice: 
Sweet Trump (monophonic)

The Portamento effect creates 
a smooth pitch glide between 
successively played notes.

The maximum pitch bend 
range can be changed 
(page 126).

In order to avoid accidentally 
applying modulation set the 
depth to its minimum setting.

More detailed octave-related 
settings for each part can be 
made by using the Mixing 
Console function 
(page 126).
