keyboard, and bend the pitch up by moving the
wheel up with your left thumb. Bring the pitch

CUTOFF knob
Just like on vintage analog synthe-
sizers, this knob lets you sweep the
cutoff frequency of the filter as you
play the keyboard. Turn it to the
right to “open up” the filter for a
brighter sound, and turn it to the
left to “shut down” the filter.
RESONANCE knob
Set this to determine how much the CUTOFF knob
affects the sound. Turn it to the right for maximum
filter effect, and to the left for more subtle filter
changes.
