All of the Programs that ship with the A6 have
default wheel and ribbon modulations stored with
them. In most cases (but not all), the left wheel and
ribbon are preset for pitch bend and the right wheel
is vibrato. Some factory Programs, on the other
hand, have the wheels and ribbon preset to other
types of modulation depending on what is
appropriate for the Program.
For MIDI purposes, the right wheel defaults to
MIDI Controller 1 (vibrato) and the left wheel and
ribbon are assigned to Channel Pitch Bend. These
assignments can be changed, however, and stored
for each Program.
To make changes to either wheel, press the PITCH
(“Pitch Wheel”) ASSIGN or the MOD (“Mod Wheel”)
ASSIGN button. The parameters for that wheel will
be displayed. Likewise, pressing the RIBBON button
to the left of the ribbon controller displays its
parameters.

or RANGE DESCRIPTION
PWHEEL The A6 permits you to adjust the range of the
upper travel of the Pitch Wheel independent of
its lower travel:
BOTRNG
Bottom Range
- 0 ··· 48 This parameter adjusts the bottom range of the
Pitch Wheel from 0 to 48 semitones (4 octaves).
The default value is two semitones (one Whole
tone).
TOPRNG
Top Range
+ 0 ··· 48 This parameter adjusts the top range of the
Pitch Wheel from 0 to 48 semitones. The default
value is two semitones (one Whole tone).
BOTCRV
Bottom Curve
LINEAR ···
SCURV2
This parameter selects one of nine response
curves for the wheel’s lower travel. See the
discussion on curves starting on page 62.
