Pitch and Mod Wheels
The Prophet Rev2 has a spring-loaded Pitch wheel and a Mod wheel.
You can use these controls to enhance live performance by bending notes
and adding modulation in real time as you play.
In the same way that guitar players use note bends and vibrato to give
their playing expressiveness and character, these two controls can help

You can set a range in semitones for the pitch wheel, depending on your
playing preference. The range is up to 12 semitones (1 octave). Many
musicians use a range of 2 semitones (a whole step) since this is the bend
range of many acoustic instruments. For guitar whammy bar effects, you
many wish to set a wider range.
To set the pitch bend range:
1. Press the
