Cursor Buttons
These buttons, located just above the Data Entry Control, move the cursor
to the next parameter on the display. (The cursor is a little flashing line
underneath one of the parameters in the display.) Press either cursor button
until the cursor is underneath the desired parameter. The cursor buttons
have an auto-repeat feature which advances the cursor when the button is
held continuously.
The cursor can be moved bidirectionally using the data entry control while
either cursor select button is held down (for example, press and hold the
right cursor button and turn the data entry control).
Pitch & Mod Wheels
These two controls, located to the right of the keyboard, are performance
expression controls. The left “Pitch Wheel”, is spring-loaded and is
normally used to bend the pitch up and down while playing. The center
position is off. The pitch bend range is set using the “Pitch Bend Range”
parameter in the Global menu (page 84).
The right “Mod Wheel” is programmed to add vibrato in most of the
factory presets. Like all the controllers in Vintage Keys, the Mod Wheel can
be programmed to control any synthesizer parameter. See PatchCords on
page 102 and page 157 for more information.
