Software: asymmetric pitch bend

Most Recent

Hi Bjoern

You can't do that at present. We do have a desired feature in the queue which allows scales to define modifier intervals for each set interval, and one of the purposes of that is to allow the scaler Agent (which takes a group of keys/courses and adds the frequencies to them) to be able to set its pitchbend range up and down (in this asymmetric and individual way) accordingly. There are some changes in the 2.0 release that make this easier so it's possible that we'll do this sometime in 2011, though it won't make the 2.0 release now, it'll have to be 2.1 or 2.2.

This might make a nice little feature for someone to work on at the DevCon in January, if it takes anyone's fancy, although it does require tinkering with an Agent that is really core to the system, the Scaler, so it is a change that needs a lot of testing and care.

Hello,

is it possible to asymmetric pitch bend? E.g. bend up 4 semintones, but bend down 2 semitones?

Thanks,
Bjoern

Should be possible, you could send the row or yaw output (the one you use for pitch bend) through a ranger agent and set minimum, maximum and rest (the position that is used when you release the key) appropriately.

P.S.: If you want to control an audio unit or midi out you can also click on "Configure" in the audio unit/midi out window and adjust the range via "MIDI Behaviour"/"Pitch Wheel"/"Bounds" (Lo/Base/High)

Hi!

Thanks for that!

How would you set the pitch bend individually per key? I.e. have a different (asymmetric) range per key? The idea is to adjust the pitch bend up and down to the adjacent note (or two) in the scale.
