Pitch Bend Wheel


The pitch bend wheel raises or lowers the pitch when the strumplate is strummed, making the QChord sound a bit like a Hawaiian steel guitar. To demonstrate its effect, return the instrument to its power-on defaults. Press the ez-play button, and then press the autochord button twice to hear only the strumplate. Press a chord, strum the strumplate, and turn the pitch bend wheel away from you. The pitch rises. Press a chord, strum the strumplate, and turn the pitch bend wheel toward you. The pitch lowers. Notice that the pitch bend wheel always returns to its center position, lowering or raising the pitch as it does so, depending on the direction in which it had initially been turned. It probably sounds best with a guitar voice, but play around with the various voices using the pitch bend wheel, and see what you think.
