Top Panel Features

1. Pitch Bend Wheel: The Pitch Bend wheel is used for raising or lowering

the pitch of a voice during performance, starting from and always returning

to a center “detent” point.The range of pitch values depends on the sound

generator (sound card or module) being used. Please refer to the manuals of

your devices for information on how to change the Pitch Bend range. To

bend the pitch up, move the wheel away from you. To bend the pitch down,

move the wheel towards you.

2. Modulation Wheel: It is very common to use the modulation wheel to

change the intensity of effects, such as Vibrato (pitch change), Tremolo

(change in volume), and Modulation (change in tone).The Modulation Wheel

produces a vibrato effect shortly after the sound is generated, and is most

effective for solo instruments such as saxophone, strings, and oboe. Similar

to the pitch wheel, the actual effect and range of that effect will be set within

your MIDI sound module.

3. Controller Sliders: These eight programmable sliders can be used to send

any MIDI controller data on any MIDI channel. This is perfect for use with

hardware and software synthesizers, for automating software mixers, or for

controlling any devices that will respond to MIDI commands. In the next

section, the “Set Controller Key” instructions will show you how to program

this special feature.

4. Controller Knobs: Like the Controller Sliders, these eight programmable

rotary knobs can be used to send any MIDI controller data on any MIDI

channel. In the next section, the “Set Controller Key” instructions will show

you how to program this special feature.
