Top Panel Descriptions

1 Modulation Wheel (Modulation): This is an assignable controller with a default of controlling vibrato or tremolo
effects assigned to the instrument you are currently playing This type of real-time controller was originally introduced
on electronic keyboards to give the performer options such as adding vibrato, just like players of acoustic instruments
do If you are using your keyboard as a MIDI controller, the Modulation wheel transmits MIDI modulation (MIDI CC 01)
messages as it is moved Some external MIDI devices may not respond to modulation messages, and not all instruments
respond to modulation data sent from the Modulation wheel Check the MIDI implementation charts provided with your
other MIDI equipment or software for modulation details Details on how to change the function of this wheel can be
found in the "Advanced Features in Edit Mode" section
2 Headphone Outputs (Phones): These two output jacks accept standard 1/4" TRS headphone plugs, and are rated to
accept headphones in a broad range of impedances, between 32 and 600 ohms
3 Pitch Bend Wheel (Pitch Bend): The Pitch Bend wheel is used to bend the pitch of a note up or down This enables
you to play phrases not normally associated with keyboard playing, including guitar-style riffs If you are using your
keyboard as a MIDI controller, the Pitch Bend wheel transmits MIDI pitch bend messages as it is moved Some external
MIDI devices may not respond to pitch bend messages Check the MIDI implementation charts provided with your other
MIDI equipment or software for pitch bend details
4 Octave < > Buttons (Octave): By default, these buttons apply octave shift to the notes played on the keyboard
Pressing the Octave > button (right) will shift the notes played on the keyboard up by one octave When octave shift is
active (i e after pressing this button) the LED above this button will light Pressing the Octave < button (left) will shift the
notes played on the keyboard down by one octave Pressing both Octave buttons together will restore the default octave
(Octave shift = 0) Any lit LEDs will go out and the keyboard will now transmit MIDI notes that are not octave-shifted
The Octave buttons can also be assigned to send different MIDI data This is explained in the "Advanced Features in Edit
Mode" section
