Pitch and Mod Wheels
Pitch Wheel
The pitch wheel is the left most of  the two wheels. It is spring-loaded, such that its center 
position is restored when it is not being used. That is because the pitch wheel is used for 
pitch-bending notes—its “off ” position is in the center. Pushing the pitch wheel up bends 
the pitches of all notes up. Pulling the pitch wheel down bends the pitches of  all notes 
down. You can program the bend amount for the Pitch Wheel using the Bend Range Down or 
Bend Range Up parameter on Bend Range Down on page 8-11.
Mod Wheel
The mod wheel is the right most of  the two wheels. Unlike the pitch wheel, the mod wheel 
is not spring loaded, and can be set to and left in any position between fully up and fully 
down. Typically, the mod wheel is assigned to a parameter that alters some aspect of  the 
sound (e.g., vibrato, lter depth) when changed.
