1. Pitch: Moving this wheel sends MIDI Pitch Bend information.
2. Mod (Modulation): Moving this wheel sends continuous controller data—MIDI CC #01
(modulation), by default.
You can also use the V Editor software to set this wheel to send a different MIDI CC
message to your software. See the V Editor's User Guide to learn how to do this.
3. Keyboard: This 61-note keyboard is velocity-sensitive and, in conjunction with the
Octave Down/Up buttons, can access the full range of 127 available MIDI notes. You
can use the keys to access certain additional commands, as well.
4. Octave Down / Up: Use these buttons to shift the keyboard's range up or down. Press
both buttons simultaneously to reset the octave shift to "zero."
5. Tap Tempo: Tap this button at the desired rate to determine the tempo of the
Arpeggiator.
Note: This button is disabled if the Arpeggiator is synced to an external clock.
6. Full Level: Press this button to activate or deactivate Full Level Mode in which the pads
always play at a maximum velocity (127), no matter how hard or soft you hit them.
7. Note Repeat: Press this button to activate or deactivate Note Repeat Mode in which
striking a pad will cause the pad to retrigger at a rate based on the current Tempo, Time
Division, and Swing settings.
