Description
• The "curve" setting determines how the pitch changes in relation to PITCH-wheel
rotation. Available settings are illustrated and described below.
Horizontal axis represents deflection of PITCH wheel; vertical axis shows corresponding pitch change.

• 0: Pitch changes in direct proportion to PITCH-wheel deflection.
• 1: Pitch changes faster over the middle range of PITCH-wheel deflection.
• 2: Pitch changes faster over the outer ranges of PITCH-wheel deflection.
• 3: In the upward direction, the pitch change rate slows as the wheel's deflection
increases; in the downward direction, the rate increases as deflection increases.
Changing the deflection simulates the effect of changing the string tension.
• 4: In the upward direction, the pitch change rate increases as the wheel's
deflection increases; in the downward direction, the rate decreases as
deflection increases. Changing the deflection simulates the effect of changing
the string length.
• 5: Pitch change in the upward direction is restricted to one-sixth the PBRange
setting. Change in the downward direction is according to Curve 5 above.
• 6: Pitch change in the upward direction is restricted to one-twelfth the PBRange
setting. Change in the downward direction is according to Curve 6 above.
• 7: Pitch change in the upward direction is restricted to one twenty-fourth the
PBRange setting. Change in the downward direction is according to Curve 7
above.
• The window at the right of the screen displays the current settings graphically.
Elements that are "off" are indicated as "------".
