2.2.2 Pitch and Modulation touch strips
If you touch the Pitch bend strip at its center and move your finger forward or backward
it will alter the pitch of the played sound. The range of the pitch bend is determined by
the preset that has been selected.
Similarly, moving your finger along the Modulation strip alters the modulation amount of
the played sound. The level of modulation introduced by activating the modulation strip
depends on which preset is selected.
The modulation strip may not be assigned to modulate a parameter in some presets.

2.2.3 Shift and Pad Bank buttons
Let’s start on the right: The Pads 1-8 / 9-16 button toggles the MiniLab pads between
two different sets of eight pad assignments.
The Shift button serves two purposes: recalling one of eight presets from memory (Shift
+ pad), and selecting the master MIDI channel (Shift + keyboard).

2.2.4 Octave buttons
Pushing one of the down or up buttons will transpose the keyboard by as much as four
octaves up or down. The farther from center the keyboard has been transposed, the
faster the buttons will flash.
To reset the keyboard octave range back to center, press both buttons at the same time.
