Pitch Bend Range
The Range parameter sets the amount of pitch bend when the wheel is turned fully up or down. The maximum range
is “24” (=up/down 2 Octaves).
Modulation Wheel
The Modulation wheel can be set to simultaneously control a number of parameters. You can set positive or negative
values, just like in the Velocity Control section. The following parameters can be affected by the modulation wheel:
Legato
Legato works best with monophonic sounds. Set Polyphony (see “Setting Number of Voices - Polyphony”) to 1 and
try the following:
D Hold down a key and then press another key without releasing the previous.
Notice that the pitch changes, but the envelopes do not start over. That is, there will be no new “attack”.
D If polyphony is set to more voices than 1, Legato will only be applied when all the assigned voices are “used
up”.
For example, if you had a polyphony setting of “4” and you held down a 4 note chord, the next note you played
would be Legato. Note, however, that this Legato voice will “steal” one of the voices in the 4 note chord, as all the
assigned voices were already used up!
Retrig
This is the “normal” setting for playing polyphonic patches. That is, when you press a key without releasing the previ-
ous, the envelopes are retriggered, like when you release all keys and then press a new one. In monophonic mode,
Retrig has an additional function; if you press a key, hold it, press a new key and then release that, the first note is
also retriggered.
Portamento (Time)
Portamento is when the pitch “glides” between the notes you play, instead of instantly changing the pitch. The Porta-
mento knob is used to set how long it takes for the pitch to glide from one pitch to the next. If you don’t want any Por-
tamento at all, set this knob to zero.

Description
F. Freq This sets modulation wheel control of the Filter Frequency parameter. A positive value will increase the
frequency if the wheel is pushed forward. Negative values invert this relationship.
F. Res This sets modulation wheel control of the Filter Resonance parameter. A positive value will increase the
resonance if the wheel is pushed forward. Negative values invert this relationship.
F. Dec This sets modulation wheel control for the Filter Envelope Decay parameter. A positive value will increase
the decay if the wheel is pushed forward. Negative values invert this relationship.
LFO This sets modulation wheel control of the LFO Amount parameter. A positive value will increase the
Amount if the wheel is pushed forward. Negative values invert this relationship.
Amp This sets modulation wheel control for the Amp level parameter. A positive value will increase the level if
the wheel is pushed forward. Negative values invert this relationship.
