Pitch and Mod Wheels
Pitch Wheel
The pitch wheel is the left most of the two wheels. It is spring-loaded, such that its center
position is restored when it is not being used. That is because the pitch wheel is used for
pitch-bending notes—its “off ” position is in the center. Pushing the pitch wheel up bends
the pitches of all notes up. Pulling the pitch wheel down bends the pitches of all notes
down. You can program the bend amount for the Pitch Wheel using the Bend Range Down or
Bend Range Up parameter on Bend Range Down on page 8-11.
Mod Wheel
The mod wheel is the right most of the two wheels. Unlike the pitch wheel, the mod wheel
is not spring loaded, and can be set to and left in any position between fully up and fully
down. Typically, the mod wheel is assigned to a parameter that alters some aspect of the
sound (e.g., vibrato, lter depth) when changed.
