Wheels: these three (in K4) or two (in K5) wheels can be pfreely programmed,
choosing the MIDI message that they will activate. The minimum and maxium value
can also be programmed. The left wheel always returns to the centre; although it can
be programmed, it is usually assigned to the Pitch Bend MIDI message, controlling
the pitch of connected instruments. For more information about wheel programming,
see chap. 5.7.

are also four "bank" buttons [BANK 1] ... [BANK 4] to select control banks. K4 / K5 allows to create up to 4 controls
configurations, for each Scene. When a control bank is active, its Led light will be blue. Control banks with red lights
