Pitch Bend Buttons
To assign the Pitch Bend buttons to a parameter:
1. Press the Edit button. The Edit button light will illuminate to full brightness.
2. Press the “PB ASSIGN” key (D#, 2nd black key from the right).
3. Use the Numerical Data Entry keys (0-9) to enter the number of the effect.
If you have made an error while entering the numerical data value, you can press the “CANCEL” key (C,
first white key on the left) to exit Edit Mode without making any changes. As an alternative to steps 3
through 5, you can use the “+” and “-” buttons to change the value.
4. Press the “ENTER” key (G, last white key on the right); the Edit light will dim to half brightness indicating
that programming is complete.
5. Press the Pitch Bend “>” button to increase the value of the effect.
The Pitch Bend button assignments are retained when the keyboard is turned off.
To return the Pitch Bend buttons to the default parameter:
1. Press the Edit button. The Edit button light will illuminate to full brightness.
2. Press the “PB ASSIGN” key (D#, 2nd black key from the right).
3. Press the “DEFAULT” key (C, 8th white key from the left). The Edit light will dim to half brightness
indicating that programming is complete.
Pitch Bend Rate
It is possible to alter the sensitivity of the Pitch Bend buttons using the Pitch Bend Rate function.
This lets you adjust the pitch bend ramp up time. The default setting is 80, with a range of 0 - 127.
As shown in the following table, the lower the value, the slower the Pitch Bend Rate and vice versa.
The Pitch Bend Rate can be adjusted using the “PB RATE” key in conjunction with the numerical keys.
The following instructions use the example of changing the Pitch Bend Rate to 127.
Value Rate
0 Ramp occurs slowly
80 [default] Ramp occurs relatively quickly
126 Ramp occurs very quickly
127 No ramp. Only one value is sent – min. or max
