Pitch and Mod Wheels

Modulation Wheel

The mod wheel controls the amount of modulation for any program that

uses it as a modulation source. This allows you to “perform” modulation in

real time by moving the wheel. This is a great way to add expressiveness

to a sound or performance by using it to control vibrato, lter effects, and

potentially a lot more.

To choose a modulation destination for the Mod wheel:

1. In the modulation section, press the assign source button. Use Soft

Knob 1 to scroll to Mod Slot 1 if it’s not already displayed.

2. Use Soft Knob 2 to scroll through the various mod sources and choose

mod wheel.

3. Use the Soft Knob 4 to scroll through the various mod destinations and

choose a parameter (such as cutoff).

4. Hold down a note on the keyboard (or press the hold button and play a

note on the keyboard) and turn the mod wheel.

5. Use the Soft Knob 3 to set the modulation amount to your preference.

Higher amount settings add greater modulation the further you push

the mod wheel. A negative amount setting will apply modulation in the

negative direction.

As a shortcut, you can hold down the assign source button and move the mod

wheel to quickly assign this modulation path.
