Roland XP-10 - Page 64

Chapter 12. Appendix
Controllers (Pitch Bender, Modulation
Lever, Pedal, Slider) do not apply the
desired effect
Since the XP-10 has a limited number of controllers,
each one performs two or more functions. This
means that the function being controlled by a con-
troller will depend on the mode that the XP-10 is in.
For details refer to “About the XP-10’s controllers”
(p.30).
