The Take 5 has a spring-loaded Pitch wheel and a Mod wheel. You can
use these controls to enhance live performance by bending notes and
adding modulation in real time as you play.

You can set a range in semitones for the Pitch wheel, depending on your
playing preference. The upward range is 12 semitones (1 octave). The
downward range is 24 semitones (2 octaves). Many musicians use a
range of 2 semitones (a whole step) since this is the bend range of many
acoustic instruments. For guitar whammy bar effects, you many wish to
set a wider range.
To set the pitch bend range:
1. Press the program button.
2. Use the knob to locate the parameter.
3. Use the knob to choose a bend interval.
4. Hold a note and move the Pitch wheel to hear the effect.
5. Once you’ve set the bend up interval as desired, use the knob to
locate the parameter.
6. Use the knob to choose a bend interval.
7. Hold a note and move the Pitch wheel to hear the effect.
8. Once you’ve chosen the desired mode, press the write button twice to
save the program.
