Controlling the pitch
There are two control methods.
Tip: The range and direction in which the pitch is adjusted
with the long ribbon controller can be specified with the
sound editor software (when the RK-100S 2 is connected
to a computer via USB).

Controlling the filter
As with pitch control, there are two control methods.
Tip: The effects that can be controlled with the long ribbon
controller can be specified with the sound editor software
(when the RK-100S 2 is connected to a computer via USB).
The filtering effect can be adjusted in the Long Ribbon section
of the sound editor software. In the Virtual Patch section, set
"Source" to "Long Ribbon", and use "Destination" to specify
the parameters to be controlled. The parameters to be con-
trolled can also be specified with Fx Long Ribbon assignments.
