Pitch bend and Modulation Wheels
The two wheels next to the Layer/Spllit and Transpose buttons are typically used for Pitch bend and Modulation.
The Pitch bend wheel is spring loaded and automatically reverts to it’s center position upon release. It’s ideal to bend notes when you are
playing phrases that require this kind of articulation. The bend range is determined by the receiving instrument.
The Modulation wheel can be freely positioned and is programmed to control modulation by default.
Both the Pitch bend and the Modulation wheel are MIDI assignable with settings stored over power cycling so you don’t lose them when
you switch the unit off. Pitch bend and Modulation assignments are not part of the Impact LX88+ presets.
Foot Switch
You can connect a foot switch pedal (optional, not included) to the 1/4” jack socket on the back of the Impact LX88+ keyboard. The correct
polarity is automatically detected on boot-up, so if you plug in your foot switch after boot-up is complete, you may experience the foot
switch working in reverse. To correct that, do the following
• Switch the Impact LX88+ off
• Make sure your foot switch is connected
• Switch the Impact LX88+ on
The polarity of the foot switch should now be automatically detected.
