Volume Slider
The Volume Slider sends a MIDI message that controls the volume of the notes you are playing. The Volume
Slider can also be assigned to different effects such as pan (balance), attack, reverb, chorus and many more.
(See Advanced Functions for more information.)
Pitch Bend Wheel
As the name indicates, the pitch bend wheel is primarily used to bend the notes played on the keyboard up or
down. This allows you to play phrases not normally associated with keyboard playing, such as guitar-style
riffs. Your sound source determines how far you can bend the note. The usual setting is two semitones, but it
can be up to two octaves up or down.
Modulation Wheel
The modulation wheel is typically used for modulation of the sound you are playing. This type of real-time
controller was originally introduced on electronic keyboard instruments to give the performer options such as
adding vibrato, just like players of acoustic instruments do. The modulation wheel is fully MIDI-assignable.
Advanced Functions Button
The Advanced Functions button is used to access all the advanced functions of the keyboard.
When the Advanced Functions button is pressed, the keyboard goes into "Edit Mode." In Edit Mode, the keys
on the keyboard are used for selecting functions and entering data.
The LED above the Advanced Functions button indicates whether or not Edit Mode is engaged. In Edit Mode,
the black keys on the keyboard are used for selecting functions, while the white keys are used for data entry
and channel selection.
Your keyboard will slip out of Edit Mode as soon as a function is selected, or the Advanced button, CANCEL
or ENTER key is pressed (the LED above the Advanced Functions button will turn off). The keyboard can
then be used to play notes again.
Note: Refer to the Advanced Functions section for more information.
