Pitch and Mod Wheels
The OB-6 has a spring-loaded Pitch wheel and a Mod wheel. You can
use these controls to enhance live performance by bending notes and
adding modulation in real time as you play.
In the same way that guitar players use note bends and vibrato to give
their playing expressiveness and character, these two controls can really
help you dene your sound as a performer and take you beyond just
playing notes on the keyboard.

Pitch Wheel
You can set a range in semitones for the Pitch wheel, depending on your
playing preference. The range is up to 12 semitones (1 octave). Many
musicians use a range of 2 semitones (a whole step) since this is the bend
range of many acoustic instruments. For guitar whammy bar effects, you
many wish to set a wider range.
To set the pitch bend range:
1. Press and hold the whl range button.
2. With the button still held down, use the bank/decrement and tens/
increment switches to choose the number of semitones (up to 12) for
the pitch bend range, then release the whl range button.
