3.9   PITCH BEND CONTROL
 
Lip pressure can be assigned to control PITCH BEND.
There are 3 types of PITCH BEND control selectable in
6 sensitivity levels each.

Upper (B) and Lower (C) PITCH BEND settings can be freely combined to obtain best results:
i.e. upper level = 3, lower level=1
  
A) Symmetrical PITCH BEND
(similar to keyboard pitch wheel action)
- side C, F & Eb increases symmetrical PITCH BEND
- side C, F & C decreases symmetrical PITCH BEND
- side C, F & Eb/C resets PITCH BEND to level 0
  
B) PITCH BEND UP only
(guitar like pitch bend action)
- side C, E, F & Eb  increases PITCH BEND up
- side C, E, F & C decreases PITCH BEND up
- side C, E, F & Eb resets PITCH BEND UP to level 0
  
C) PITCH BEND DOWN only (drop off action)
- side C, Bb, F & Eb increases PITCH BEND down
- side C, Bb, F & C decreases PITCH BEND down
- side C, Bb, F & Eb/C resets PITCH BEND DOWN to level 0
 

 

 

 

  
level 5 full range PITCH BEND control
level 4 1/2 range PITCH BEND control
level 3 1/4 range PITCH BEND control
level 2 1/8 range PITCH BEND control
level 1 1/1 6 range PITCH BEND control
level 0 no PITCH BEND control
The panic function resets PITCH BEND to level 0.
 
Thumb-X-press (s. 5.1) can be simultaneously used for pitch bending.

- To obtain smooth PITCH BEND responses, it is generally a good idea to set the PITCH BEND range on your synthesizer to 1 or 2 semitones first and then select an appropriate sensitivity level from the Synthophone.
