PITCH BEND AND MODULATION WHEELS
The PITCH BEND and Modulation wheels can be used to control either the internal sounds of
the Promega and/or any external MIDI device connected to it. Both wheels can also be re-
programmed to have other functions.
PITCH BEND
This wheel is used to “bend” the pitch of a sound in order to emulate, for example, the bending
of a string on a bass guitar or the scooping of a note in a brass section.
The preset range of the PITCH BEND wheel is +/- 2 half-steps or semitones. This means that
the maximum amount of pitch shift will be 2 half-steps higher when the wheel is pushed
upwards and 2 half-steps lower when the wheel is pulled downwards.
To change the amount of pitch shift in half-steps, press the CONTROLS, (CONTR.) button in
the EDIT & CONTROLS section and select the function “PIT” using the Page <> buttons.
NOTE: If you have no
pedals connected then
“PIT” will be the first
function you see.
The LCD will display the current settings for the PITCH BEND
wheel. Use the MASTER TRANSPOSE b and # buttons to increase
of decrease the range.
At the same time, you can see which sections the Pitch Wheel
will affect when it is moved. Each section shows its Pitch Wheel
assignment as being ON or OFF. You can change this setting with
the LEVEL slider in each section.
The PITCH BEND wheel can also be re-programmed to have a
different function. In the EFFECTS section display, you will see
the current function of the wheel. Using the LEVEL slider in the
EFFECTS section, you can select a different function. The functions
available are as follows:
Pb – Pitch Bend, (Original Function)
PAN – Panpot or Stereo Balance control
UAH – Wah controls, (only works when WAH effect is configured
appropriately)
FLT – Filter control
MODULATION
The MODULATION wheel is normally used to apply a motion effect, (usually vibrato or tremolo),
to the sound. This allows you to apply the same type of vibrato that a string or horn player might
use; letting the sound play normally for a second or two and then adding an increasing amount of
vibrato as the note sustains. This is achieved by moving the wheel slowly upwards from its zero
position, (the zero position is when the wheel is pulled all the way down).
When not being used, the wheel should be returned to this zero position. If you ever find that a
sound contains a vibrato or tremolo effect even when the PRO EFX are turned off, this is probably
because the Modulation Wheel has been left in a non-zero position. Pulling it all the way down
should rectify the problem.
The Modulation Wheel can be assigned to any section of the instrument and can also be re-
programmed to have a different function.
To change the settings of the Modulation Wheel, press the CONTROLS, (CONTR.) button in the
EDIT & CONTROLS section and select the function “MOD” using the Page <> buttons.
You can now see which sections the Modulation Wheel will affect when it is moved. Each section
shows its wheel assignment as being ON or OFF. You can change this setting with the LEVEL
slider in each section.
To change the function of the wheel, use the LEVEL slider in the EFFECTS section. The display in the
EFFECTS section shows the current function of the wheel. For a description of all the available functions,
see the table entitled “CONTINUOUS PEDAL and MOD WHEEL” in the CONTROLS section of this manual.
