The BEND Page
Most programs respond to pan messages on the next keystrike. This means that if you hold a
note and change the pan, the current note will stay at its current position until you strike it
again. However, a PC3 program that uses the PANNER algorithm will respond to real-time pan
adjustments as well.
The BEND Page
The parameters on the BEND page define the bend ranges for each of the three types of pitch
bend messages the PC3 can respond to.
Bend Range (Semitones) and Bend Range (Cents): Up and Down
BendRangeUp(ST) and BendRangeDown(ST) sends a bend range message to an internal
program or a MIDI device, telling it how to define subsequent pitch bend messages. Some
programs may behave strangely when you change the Bend Range value, because they use
FUNs or DSP Functions to affect the pitch wheel. In that case, you should either set the value of
Bend Range to Prog, or edit the program itself.
NOTE: The settings for BendRangeUp and Down are only reflected only in Setup mode. If you specify
BendRangeUp and Down values for the control setup, they will not be reflected in any other mode, and
pitch bend messages in the current program will result in behavior as specified for the Pitch Bend Range
parameters on the COMMON page in the Program Editor.
BendRangeUp(ct) and BendRangeDown(ct) lets you fine tune the value for Bend Range
(semitones). 100 cents equals one semitone, or one half-step; you can set this parameter
anywhere between 0 and 100 cents.
BendRangeUp, in both semitones and cents, affects all controllers that are set to PitchUp (in the
default control setup, the PWUp parameter on the WHEEL page is assigned to PitchUp).
BendRangeDown, in both semitones and cents, affects all controllers that are set to PitchDwn
(in the default control setup, the PWDn parameter on the WHEEL page is assigned to
Parameter Range of Values Default
Bend Range Up (semitones) Prog, 0 to 127 semitones 2
Bend Range Up (cents) Prog, 100 cents 0
Bend Range Down (semitones) Prog, 0 to 127 semitones 2
Bend Range Down (cents) Prog, 100 cents 0
Aux Bend 1 Up 0 to 60 semitones 12
Aux Bend 1 Down 0 to 60 semitones 12
Aux Bend 2 Range 0 to 60 semitones 2
