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.
