PITCHBEND
Here you may set pitchbend and other related parameters. Pressing PITCHBEND in the main
EDIT PROGRAM page will show this:
The parameters are:
PITCHBEND UP This sets the limit for pitchbend up - the range is 24 semitones
PITCHBEND DOWN This sets the limit for pitchbend down - the range is 24 semitones.
BEND MODE You may select NORMAL or HELD.
NORMAL is the common type of pitchbend where all notes are bent as
you move the pitchbend wheel/lever regardless of whether you are
actually holding any notes down (i.e. they may be fading through their
release stage).
By selecting the HELD mode of pitchbend, ONLY THE KEY(S) YOU
ARE CURRENTLY HOLDING DOWN WILL BEND and all those notes
you are not playing but which may be fading through their release stage
will remain unchanged. If you release your finger from the key with the
pitchbend up (or down), as the note dies away, if you let the pitchbend
return to zero, that last note’s pitch will not change. If you release just
one note of a chord with pitchbend up or down, if you let the wheel or
lever settle at zero, only the notes you are holding will bend.
AFTERTOUCH As well as using the pitchbend wheel or lever, you may also use aftertouch
to bend notes. The range is -12 to +12. You may only bend up or down
depending on the selection made - unlike the bend wheel/lever, you
cannot pitchbend both ways.
