Pitch Wheel
The pitch wheel (also known as a pitch bender) is a controller found on
pretty much all keyboard controllers. It usually takes the form of a sprung
wheel that is moved either up or down, but is sometimes in the form of a
lever, which is moved to the left or right. The most common application of
this controller is to affect subtle changes in pitch on some notes, in order to
make a performance more expressive.
> CURVE
Determines the rate of pitch bend as you move towards either extreme. Choose the curve
which best suits your playing style and the musical context of the patch.
> Linear:
This affects a consistent change in pitch as you move the controller towards either
extreme.
> Exponential:
This affects a gradual change in pitch as you first move the controller, but as
you move towards either extreme, the change becomes much more pronounced.
> BEND UP
Determines the degree of pitch bend at the upper extreme of the pitch controller.
The value is set in semitone intervals.
> BEND DOWN
Determines the degree of pitch bend at the lower extreme of the pitch controller.
The value is set in semitone intervals.
> LINK (BEND UP & BEND DOWN)
When enabled, the Bend Up and Bend Down values are linked so as to be symmetrical i.e.
setting Bend Up to +3 will automatically set Bend Down to –3.
