Controlling the pitch with physical controllers
▪ Use the Pitch Mode pop-up menu to set the Pitch Bend direction.
Pitch Mode Meaning
Normal Linear bending.
Fixed Scale When this parameter is turned on on an oscillator, Pitch Bend and
Sub Scale have no effect on its tuning. The relevant parameters are
greyed out and non-selectable.
This is useful when assigning to the oscillator a noise (like the breath
noise of a reed) with a fixed frequency, that must not change on dif-
ferent notes and different pitches.
Highest Pitch Bend
only On this oscillator, Pitch Bend is only activated on the highest note
currently playing on the keyboard.
Lowest Pitch Bend
only On this oscillator, Pitch Bend is only activated on the lowest note cur-
rently playing on the keyboard.
▪ Use the Ribbon to Pitch parameter to set the Pitch Bend range (-12…0…+12
semitones) controlled by the Ribbon Controller message (CC#16). The Ribbon
Controller message can be received from MIDI or contained in a Standard
MIDI File.
▪ Use the JS (+X) parameter to specify how the pitch will change when the
joystick is moved all the way to the right (-60…+12 semitones). A setting of 12
produces 1 octave of change.
For example if you set this to +12 and move the joystick all the way to the
right, the pitch will rise one octave above the original pitch.
▪ Use the JS (-X) parameter to specify how the pitch will change when the
joystick is moved all the way to the left (-60…+12 semitones). A setting of 12
produces 1 octave of change.
For example, if you set this to -60 and move the joystick all the way to the
left, the pitch will fall five octaves below the original pitch. This can be used
