Pitch Wheel
The Pitch wheel allows for a broad range of effects from subtle vibrato,
to half or whole-step note bends, to full-on guitar whammy bar-style
bends. By default its range is set to a semitone (a half step) but you can
change this on a per-program basis to up to an octave.
To use the Pitch wheel:
1. Hold a note and move the Pitch wheel up or down. The farther you
move the wheel from center, the wider the pitch variation.
2. For a vibrato effect, try rocking the Pitch wheel back and forth.
To set the Pitch wheel bend range for a specific program:
1. Press and hold the
2. Use the
switches to choose the desired range from 1- 12. A setting of 1 equals a
semitone. A setting of 12 equals an octave.
