5.4.2 The wheels and Octave buttons
The wheels found on the left side of the virtual keyboard give the user control over the
frequency of the sound (“Pitch”) and the modulation rate (“Mod”).
Wheels and Octave buttons
PITCH WHEEL Wheel controlling the pitch of the sound. When pushed in the up
direction, the sound “bends” and becomes higher in tune. When
pushed in the down direction, the sound “bends” and becomes lower
in tune.
MOD Wheel controlling modulation (MIDI controller #1).
The modulation wheel is not necessarily connected on every preset! It will depend on
the preset being used.
OCTAVE The Octave button transposes all notes played up or down one or
more octaves. This allows one to play notes one or more octaves
higher or lower without changing the keyboard zone in which the
notes are being played.

The Kbd (Keyboard) section is used only for the Scene Mode (see Chapter 5.5). It
contains 2 buttons allowing to choose whether the knobs in the “Controls” section are
controlling the Upper or Lower voice of the Scene.
