Pitch Wheel and Mod Wheel

To the left of the PC3A’s keyboard are the Pitch Wheel and the Mod Wheel, as well as the SW and

Arp buttons.

Push the Pitch Wheel away from you to raise the pitch of the note(s) you are playing. Pull it

towards you to lower the pitch. Most programs are set so that the pitch wheel will raise and

lower pitch by a whole step, although some programs use the pitch wheel to lower pitch by as

much as an octave. The Pitch Wheel has a spring so that it will snap back to place (i.e., back to the

original pitch) when you release it.

The Mod Wheel performs a variety of functions. Dierent programs may use it for lter sweeps,

tremolo/vibrato, wah, or layer volume.

The Arp button turns on and o the PC3A’s Arpeggiator.

The SW button (MIDI 29) can be programmed to do a variety of things. Often it is used for layer

enable or eect enable.
