Emax

Caution!
        You'll probably be better taking it to a repair shop. If you don't have technical training and/or know exactly what you are working on you could seriously render the Emax useless. 

    Anyway continuity means checking the mechanical condition of the metal wire inside of  the plastic insulation and its ability to conduct electricity. This will require an OHM meter to check each of the three wires one at a time. Simply put it is like hooking the wire you are testing to a light bulb and the other end to positive side of a battery If the negative side of the battery is hooked up to the case of the light bulb and your test wire is good the bulb will light. If the bulb doesn't light and you know the battery is not dead, the wire on the negative side is good, and the light bulb is not burned out odds the wire you are testing is broken under the insulation. Typically this does not normally happen unless the wires are pinched or stressed. More than likely the POTentiometer in the pitch wheel is open internally and must be replaced. 

Good luck,
Skip

  Thanks for the suggestions, Skip.  Help is much appreciated.

  Here my technical ignorance rears its head.  I've no idea what "continuity
  check on the wires . . . " means.

  Tried the re-calibration numerous times to no avail.  Haven't tried using
  midi, but the pitch works fine when I re-assign it to the right (modulation)
  wheel. Small comfort, though, because it doesn't spring back to the middle
  to keep in tune.
