English Volume/Data Knob 3 This knob controls MIDI Volume (CC#07) on iRig KEYS 37 by default, so you can use this to control the volume of the instrument you are playing. This control is assignable, so it is also possible to send any other MIDI control change (CC) message. See the chapter “EDIT mode” for more information. Pitch Bend 8 Move this wheel up or down to send Pitch Bend messages. The wheel has a central rest position.
English Most instruments use this message to control the amount of vibrato or tremolo in the sound, but note that this depends solely on how the receiving instrument itself is programmed and not on the iRig KEYS 37 settings. Pedal 2 iRig KEYS 37 supports both Sustain Pedals and Expression Pedals. Connect a NORMALLY OPEN sustain pedal to the jack 2 BEFORE connecting iRig KEYS 37 to the computer. When the pedal is depressed, you will sustain all keyed notes until the pedal is released.

English Assign a specific MIDI Control Change number to the VOL/DATA knob By default, the VOL/DATA knob sends MIDI Volume messages which are assigned to MIDI Controller #7.
