Below are the bend modes:

Normal Standard pitch bend behavior.

Touch When yo bend the lever p or down, the pitch will change contin o sly. However, as

soon as the lever moves back towards the center position, the pitch will immediately

change to the center position.

Catch When yo play a note while the lever is already bent p or down, the pitch of that note

will be played in the center position. The pitch of that note will only be affected when

the lever passes the center position.

Last* This only bends the last note played. This is sef l when holding down several notes

and playing a solo on top. The pitch bend is only applied to the last note of yo r solo.

Catch + Last Catch and Last modes work at the same time. This is especially s itable for playing

g itar phrases. For example with the Catch mode, yo can bend a note and play the

original pitch as if yo are bending the same note on a g itar string and immediately

striking the same note. The Last mode is also sef l for playing a thentic g itar

phrases. For example, yo can str m a chord and bend the last note, which is a

common g itar techniq e.

* Use patch PRST 394 to demonstrate “Last” bend mode
