Pitch-Mod Controller; The Arp And Sw Buttons - Kurzweil X-Pro Series Getting Started Manual

Pitch-Mod Controller

To the left of the X-Pro's keyboard is the Pitch-Mod Controller which usually controls pitch
bending and a control parameter.
The top part of the Pitch-Mod Controller is known as a Pitch Wheel , push it away from you to
raise the pitch of the note(s) you are playing. Pull it towards you to lower the pitch. Most
programs are set so that the pitch wheel will raise and lower pitch by a whole step, although
some programs use the pitch wheel to lower pitch by as much as an octave. The Pitch Wheel has
a spring so that it will snap back to place (i.e., back to the original pitch) when you release it.
Left/right movement of the Pitch-Mod Controller provides parameter control which can
perform a variety of functions. Different programs may use it for filter sweeps, tremolo/vibrato,
wah, or layer volume.
Pushing the Pitch-Mod Controller to the right sets a fixed continuous controller value. When
you release the Pitch-Mod Controller from the right, the highest value that was reached remains
set. Once the value is set, push the Pitch-Mod Controller left of center and release to set the
controller value back to its lowest value. Set values are remembered when moving between
programs.
Pushing the Pitch-Mod Controller to the left allows you to continuously set the controller value,
and releasing the Pitch-Mod Controller from the right sets the controller value back to its lowest
value.
