mally, it should be set to the center posi-
tion. The tuning range is +50 cents.

PITCH BEND control
Use this control when adding pitch bend
effects.
The control knob selects the pitch-
variable range of the pitch bend effect.
Setting it to MIN means that the range is
О (pitch bend effect zero) while setting it
to MAX means that the pitch bend range
is 1200 cent (1 octave.)
The pitch bend wheel controls the pitch
bend effect selected by the pitch bend
control knob. Moving the control towards

towards —will decrease the pitch.
The pitch bend wheel will automatically
return to the center position when the
pressure on it is released, causing the
pitch bend effect to revert to O.
