I had this same problem and here's Dave's response to fix it:


sounds like the calibration is off on the wheel; try re-calibrating:

1) Turn the mod wheel all the way off (down), and while also holding
the pitch wheel off, hold the Reset switch and hit the keypad 4 switch.

2) Return the pitch wheel to center, and hold Reset and hit 5.

3) Move the Mod wheel all the way on (up), and while also holding the
pitch wheel all the way on, hold Reset and hit the 6 switch.
