Top Panel Descriptions
1 . Modulation Wheel (Modulation): This wheel is used to add expressivity to your performance by changing the intensity
of certain effects . The Modulation wheel usually controls vibrato (change in intonation) or tremolo (change in volume) of your
selected sound . The MIDI data range of this wheel is 0 to 127, with 0 being the note-unchanged position (i .e ., the wheel is
rolled downward toward the user) .
Note that the Modulation wheel can be assigned to control MIDI parameters other than modulation (MIDI CC 1) . This topic is
covered in the “Advanced ProKeys Sono Functions in Edit Mode” chapter of this User Guide .
2 . Headphone Outputs (Phones): These two output jacks accept standard 1/4” headphones . The volume of these outputs is
controlled by the Master Volume fader (6) .
3 . Pitch Bend Wheel (Pitch Bend): This wheel lets you create expressive changes in your performances by raising and
lowering pitch . Rolling the Pitch Bend wheel upward will raise an instrument’s pitch whereas rolling it downward will lower the
pitch . Note that this wheel is spring-mounted and will return to the center position when released .
4 . Octave Shift (Data) < > Buttons: In this User Guide, these buttons will be referred to as the Data buttons . By default,
these buttons shift the “center” of the keyboard in one octave increments . Pressing the Data > button (right) will shift the
notes played on the keyboard up one octave (for example, D2 becomes D3) . When shifted upward, the LED above the
right Data button will illuminate . Pressing the Data < button (left) will shift the notes played on the keyboard downward (for
example, G4 becomes G3) and the LED above the left Data button LED will illuminate . Pressing both Data buttons together
will “center” the keyboard and restore the default state (Octave shift = 0) and any illuminated Data button LEDs will turn off .
The Data buttons can also be assigned to send different MIDI messages or control other features on ProKeys Sono . This is
explained in the “Advanced ProKeys Sono Functions in Edit Mode” section of this User Guide .
5 . Edit Mode Button (Edit Mode): When this button is pressed, the associated LED illuminates and the keyboard enters “Edit
mode .” While in this mode, the keys on the keyboard no longer transmit MIDI notes, and are instead used to select advanced
functions and enter data . The “Advanced ProKeys Sono Functions in Edit Mode” section of this User Guide contains more
detailed information about Edit mode . Press this button again to exit Edit mode .
6 . Master Volume Fader (Master Volume): The Master Volume fader controls the level of the main outputs (17) as well as
the headphone outputs (2) .
