Title: Pitch Wheel not working - why?
Post by: reno@phonogen.com on December 17, 2020, 07:00:43 PM
Hello, my pitchbend wheel has no effect on my keyboard playing on the river. When I move it, the pitch does not change. Under "options" "Bandrange" is set to 6. no matter if set to 12, the pitchbend wheel remains without function. since i'm not the pitchbend type, i noticed this only after owning the river-synth for over a year, that i never found a note in the manual explaining the function of the pitch wheel in more detail. where do i activate this bitch wheel??? thanks for any hints!

It's always nice when you can answer your own questions. musically speaking, this is called feedback :-)  If the pitch bend wheel does not work, simply perform a calibration (S-Key -> C8). I thank myself for the information.  :o :P :)

The pitch wheel on my River synt, even after calibration (calibration (S-Key -> C8), doesn't always work properly.  Yesterday after several calibrations it began to work properly.  Today, upon power up, it began not working again so I calibrated and it jumps through numbers quickly while bring the pitch wheel to its extreme points.  After several calibrations, it works pitching down, but does not pitch up. Any idea how to alleviate this abnormality?  The Mod Wheel, Aftertouch, and pedal seem to calibrate properly.
