Yes. You can change it. Your changes would be associated with the 
patch, so make sure you save the patch, if you want to keep the 
changes.

You will find these settings in the control matrix. If you press the 
button upwards you will be browsing the 16 control sets that can be 
defined for each patch. If you press the button downwards ( the 
opposite direction) you will find the "pitch up" and "pitch down" 
settings for the pitch bend wheel. Notice these are independant, so 
you can bend a whole tone up and a whole octave down, for example.

Cheers,

Jerry

You can also set the wheel so that it works backwards (wheel up = bend 
down), or even so that both directions cause the same kind of bend.  I have 
a couple of patches where, PBUp = +2 and PBDn = +24:  This way I get a 
guitar-like bend when pushing up, and a wild bend like violinists use on 
the end of solos in the other direction.  Another trick is to set PBUp and 
PBDn to +1.  I use this to make a vibrato/tremolo similar to the bellows 
shake that accordionists do.
