4.6. The pitch bend and modulation wheels
On the left of the keyboard we find two wheels, one for modifying the oscillator frequency,
the other for varying the amplitude of the modulation brought by the third oscillator, either
on the oscillator frequency, or the filter cut-off frequency.
When the modulation wheel is at zero, the window displays “no modulation”. This means
that it is not possible to modulate the value given by this wheel with the modulation matrix
(see underneath).
On the left of the bend wheel we find a “BEND” switch and a “RANGE” potentiometer.
The “BEND” switch is used to disconnect the bend wheel from the frequency of the
oscillators. We can thus, through the modulation matrix, use the bend wheel to modify a
parameter of synthesis, without modifying the frequency of the oscillator.
The “RANGE” potentiometer sets the amplitude of the bend wheel, more or less four octaves
per semi-tone.
