Pitch and Mod Wheels

The Take 5 has a spring-loaded Pitch wheel and a Mod wheel. You can

use these controls to enhance live performance by bending notes and

adding modulation in real time as you play.

You can set a range in semitones for the Pitch wheel, depending on your

playing preference. The upward range is 12 semitones (1 octave). The

downward range is 24 semitones (2 octaves). Many musicians use a

range of 2 semitones (a whole step) since this is the bend range of many

acoustic instruments. For guitar whammy bar effects, you many wish to

set a wider range.

To set the pitch bend range:

1. Press the

program

button.

2. Use the select knob to locate the pitch bend up parameter.
3. Use the value knob to choose a bend interval.

4. Hold a note and move the Pitch wheel to hear the effect.
5. Once you’ve set the bend up interval as desired,

use the select knob to

locate the pitch bend down parameter.

6. Use the value knob to choose a bend interval.

7. Hold a note and move the Pitch wheel to hear the effect.
8. Once you’ve chosen the desired mode, press the

write

button twice to

save the program.
