In Pitch mode, the scale on the Smart Strip is centered, as indicated by a white LED in the
middle of the Smart Strip. Sliding your finger to the left will flatten the pitch. Sliding your fin-
ger to the right will sharpen the pitch. The amount of pitch bend applied to the Sound is indi-
cated by the LED dots above the Smart Strip. Once you lift your finger off the Smart Strip, the
pitch of the sound will return to standard tuning.
► To enable Pitch mode, press the PITCH button.
5.7.2 Modulation Mode
In Modulation mode, sliding your finger on the Smart Strip modulates the sound of the notes
you play on the pads. The Smart Strip always controls the parameter that is assigned to the
standard MIDI CC #1. This MIDI Continuous Controller is reserved for the modulation wheel. If
you have used the modulation wheel on a synthesizer or standard MIDI keyboard before, you
are probably familiar with the effect.
In Modulation mode, the scale starts at the left side of the Smart Strip, as indicated by a white
LED. Sliding your finger to the right will apply an increasing amount of modulation, as indicat-
ed by the LED dots above the Smart Strip. When you lift your finger off the Smart Strip, the
modulation value will remain at the position where the strip was last touched; the LED dots
above remain lit to indicate this position.
► To enable Modulation mode, press the MOD button.
5.7.3 Perform Mode
In Perform mode, the Smart Strip controls a parameter of one of the Perform effects (Per-
form FX) described in ↑14.7, Perform FX. For each of the Perform FX, the Smart Strip is map-
ped to the parameter that makes most sense to control in real time.
To control a Perform FX using the Smart Strip:
1. Press the PLUG-IN button.
2. Select the Group (A-H) you want to apply the effect to.
3. Open the Perform FX page on the controller by pressing SHIFT + PERFORM.
4. Select a Perform FX mode from the Mode menu by turning Knob 1, and letting go of the
knob when the effect you want to use is highlighted in the list.
