Pitch Bend & Modulation Wheels
These two controls are located on the left end of the keyboard just above the Disk Drive slot.
Pitch Bend
You can adjust the pitch range, plus or minus, up to 12 half steps.
NOTE: Normally, the Pitch Bend Wheel will raise or lower the pitch one whole-step. How to
change the Pitch Bend Range is explained on page 108 of this Guide.
Modulation Wheel
The Modulation Wheel is used to control Vibrato or Tremolo effects for the Voices,
or to send MIDI Controller data to a connected MIDI device.
Moving either control to the front will increase the intensity of the effect.
Moving either control to the rear will decrease the level.
NOTE: You can select whether the Modulation Wheel will modulate the internal voices of the XE-1.
How to do this is explained on page 108 of this Guide.
♦ Important - Read This
Although the XE-1 is a single-keyboard instrument, it can be made to function in a manner similar
to an instrument with two keyboards and a pedal keyboard, such as an organ. This is the reason
for the references to UPPER, LOWER and PEDAL on the instrument.
On an organ, the UPPER Keyboard is usually used for the melody, and is played with the right
hand. The LOWER Keyboard is usually used to provide accompaniment, or harmonic support for
the melody and is played by the left hand. The PEDAL Keyboard, or clavier, is used to play the
bass notes and is most commonly played by the left foot.
On the XE-1, this playing style is replicated by partitioning or “splitting” the single 61-note
keyboard into two parts. The part played by the right hand is referred to as the UPPER
Keyboard, while the part played by the left hand is referred to as the LOWER Keyboard.
The SPLIT ON Touch Tab, located on the right of the control panel, is used to
divide the keyboard into Upper and Lower Keyboards. When the SPLIT ON
Touch Tab is “ON,” (LED lit), and you are in the PLAY Mode of the Information
Center Display, you will see a portion of the keyboard “highlighted,” or displayed
in reverse-video and a designation such as “C3.” This indicates that the keyboard is split, and
that the third “C” key on the keyboard marks the dividing point between the Upper and Lower
Keyboard.
NOTE: "C3" is the default Split point; however, you can relocate the Split point elsewhere on the
keyboard. This is explained in the KEYBOARD SPLIT section of this Guide.
In addition, if you connect a set of MIDI bass pedals, such as the Hammond
XPK-100, you can then make use of the PEDAL division of the XE-1. However,
the PEDAL TO LOWER Touch Tab allows you to play the Pedal Drawbars and
Voices from the Lower Keyboard.
