They are capable of transposing the sound four octaves in either direction, and their indicators
have a color-coded scheme to keep track of transposition changes as follows:

ƒ

Unlit = Not-transposed

ƒ

Green = One octave away

ƒ

Orange = Two octaves away

ƒ

Red = Three octaves away

ƒ

Flashing red = Four octaves away

6. Moving the MOD WHEEL adds LFO intensity (“vibrato”) to the chosen sound. The MOD WHEEL

can be assigned to any controller that would benefit from a smooth wide range of values. (MOD
WHEEL
defaults to transmitting CC#1)

7. Plug in an optional momentary pedal, and it will default to the DAMPER function (CC#64)

>

DAMPER can be re-assigned to any controller number, function as a MOMENTARY or TOGGLE
switch, or transmit separate ON and OFF values.
