● SOURCE:
Click here to open a pop-up menu with the list of control sources. Click on a
source to select it. (The full list of Control Sources is given ​
To close the menu without selecting a source, click on the ​ X ​ or anywhere in the
panels above the menu screen.
● MODE (QUANTIZE/CONTINUOUS):
Click here to select whether the control source modulates the destination
parameter either smoothly or in quantized steps.
e.g. If the destination is PITCH COARSE then CONTINUOUS will adjust the pitch
smoothly, whereas QUANTIZE will adjust it in semitone steps.
● RANGE CTRL:
Click here to open a pop-up menu with the list of Range Controls.
A Range Control is used to give you real-time, direct live control over the depth of
modulation from the source to the destination.
e.g. If the Range Control is PITCH, then the modulation depth from the control
source will change according to whether you play in the lower register or the
higher register of your instrument.
Above the list of Range Controls is a POLARITY button. Click here to select
whether the range control is applied positively or negatively.
Going back to the above example, if the polarity is ​ p ositive ​ ( +) then modulation will
increase as you play from low to high. By contrast, if the polarity is ​ n egative ​ (-),
the behavior is reversed.
Click on a Range Control to select it.
To close the menu without selecting a range controller, either select OFF, click the
X​ or click anywhere in the panels above the menu screen.
Range Control is explained in a bit more detail ​

● CURVE:
Click on the curve graphic and drag it up and down to select one of the Flexi
Controller's sixteen available transformation curves. The curve types are linear,
exponential, logarithmic, S-shaped and hard-transition, of varying slopes. The
various curves alter how the modulation from the control source is applied to the
destination.
e.g. If the control source is PITCH and the destination is DRIVE then using a
linear ​ c urve will cause the distortion to increase evenly as you play chromatically
up through the range of your instrument. By contrast, using an ​ e xponential ​ c urve
will cause the distortion to be applied only slightly at the lower range of your
instrument but it will be increased more dramatically towards the upper range.
A diagram of all sixteen transformation curves is given ​
