The keyboards hardware components:
Pitch Bend wheel (1)
The Pitch Bend wheel is used for raising or lowering the pitch of a voice during performance. The
range of pitch values depends on the sound generator (sound card or module) being used. Please
refer to the manuals of your devices for information on how to change the Pitch Bend range. To
bend the pitch up, please move the wheel away from you. To bend the pitch down, please move the
wheel towards you.
Modulation wheel (2)
It is very common to use the modulation wheel to change the intensity of effects: mainly Vibrato
(pitch change), Tremolo (Change the volume), and Modulation (change the tone). The Modulation
wheel produces a vibrato effect shortly after the sound is generated. It is most effective for voice
such as Saxophone Strings and Oboe.
