42 PSR-A2000 Owner’s Manual

The joystick lets you control the pitch or the modulation effect conveniently by

moving it in a horizontal (X) or vertical (Y) direction.

Moving the joystick along the X axis bends notes up (moving right) or down

(moving left) while playing the keyboard. Pitch Bend is applied to all the keyboard

parts (RIGHT 1, 2 and LEFT).

The maximum pitch bend range can be changed on the Mixing Console display:

[MIXING CONSOLE] → TAB [E][F] TUNE → [H] PITCH BEND RANGE.

Moving the joystick along the Y axis applies modulation effects, such as vibrato, to

notes played on the keyboard. By default, this is applied to keyboard parts RIGHT 1

and 2. Moving the joystick away from the center increases the depth of the effect,

while moving it closer to the center decreases it.

You can set whether the effects caused by the joystick will be applied or not to each

keyboard part: [FUNCTION] → [D] CONTROLLER → TAB [E][F]

KEYBOARD/PANEL → [A]/[B] 2 JOYSTICK +Y, 3 JOYSTICK -Y.
