9.5.8 OCTAVE
Sets the base octave of the Sound. This setting makes it easier to play the sound at the “right” octave on 
the Digitone Keys [KEYBOARD]. It also makes Sound locking more practical since you can control the 
octave setting on the Sound and minimize the need to transpose the sequencer notes to make two or 
more Sounds work together.
9.5.9 PITCH BEND
Opens a menu where you can assign up to four PARAMETER page parameters to the PITCH WHEEL 
or pitch bend data from incoming MIDI. Press [YES] to open the menu. You can also press [PTCH] to 
access this menu directly.
You can select parameters from the SYN1, SYN2, FLTR, AMP, and LFO PARAMETER pages. Turn the 
DATA ENTRY knobs A–D to select the track parameters that you wish to assign. Press [YES] to confirm 
the selection. Then use DATA ENTRY knobs E–H to set the modulation depth of the parameters. The 
depth is an oset of the original parameter value.
9.5.10 VELOCITY MOD
Opens a menu where you can assign up to four PARAMETER page parameters to the [KEYBOARD] 
velocity or velocity from incoming MIDI data. The VEL parameter on the TRIG menu also aects the 
assigned parameters. Press [YES] to open the menu. Setting up the parameters works in the same way 
as for PITCH BEND.
9.5.11 MOD WHEEL
Opens a menu where you can assign up to four PARAMETER page parameters to the MOD WHEEL or 
mod wheel data (CC #1) from incoming MIDI. Press [YES] to open the menu. Setting up the parameters 
works in the same way as for PITCH BEND. You can also press [MOD] to access this menu directly.
9.5.12 BREATH CONTROLLER
Opens a menu where you can assign up to four PARAMETER page parameters to the MIDI breath con-
troller command (CC #2). Press [YES] to open the menu. Setting up the parameters works in the same 
way as for PITCH BEND.
9.5.13 AFTERTOUCH
Opens a menu where you can assign up to four PARAMETER page parameters to the [KEYBOARD]

ters works in the same way as for PITCH BEND.
9.6 ARPEGGIATOR MENU
The ARPEGGIATOR menu controls the Sounds arpeggiator. The arpeggiator settings are part of the Sound
