Entering Numbers When any number is entered it adheres to the following rules:Increment/Decrement Keys Initially the LED display starts flashing. The value displayed can be incremented/decremented using the +/- keys. Pressing both + & - should call up the default value for that parameter. [. . . ] You can also use the +/switches to increase or decrease the value of the number. Note: * If you do nothing for 3 seconds, the LED will return to show the current PROGRAM CHANGE number. * If the number you press is not in the range of defined numbers, the previous number will be retained. * When you assign 120 or 121 as the MIDI controller for the WHEEL, you should move the MODULATION Wheel to the mid-value then return it to the minimum value to send a relative MIDI message. See Appendix B for a full list of controller numbers. 9. PITCH BEND WHEEL Moving the PITCH BEND WHEEL transmits MIDI PITCH BEND messages to any connected equipment. This allows you to bend the pitch of a sound up (or down one tone) to add expression to your performance. To bend the sound down: Move the WHEEL towards you. 10.
