bent pitch

In electronic music, a pitch wheel, pitch bend or bender is a control on a synthesizer to vary the pitch in a continuously variable manner (portamento).

This can include, for example, “vibrato” (a more or less narrow and rapid fluctuation of pitch), “portamento” (moving between two distinct pitches by a gradual slide rather than a discrete pitch step), and approaching or leaving a distinct pitch by a slide, either up or down.

Description. A pitch bend wheel is a part of the keyboard that you can use to emulate playing techniques in which the pitch changes, such as the bending of strings on a guitar. Moving the wheel up or down makes the pitch temporarily change.

Go here click on Pitch Bend. And you can open up this panel here when you start you can select and this is going to be controlling. The pitch Bend create some points by clicking. And then clicking.

Pitch Wheel Change (aka pitch bend) is a 14 bit controller, with values ranging from 0 to 16383. It is treated like an signed 14 bit integer. No pitch bend means pitch bend = 8192, the smallest pitch bend is 0 and the largest is 16383.

Setting Up For Performance The ideal pitch bend range setting for this is -+12 because this will let you glide across the full range of notes available. As mentioned before, it is crucial that your synth's pitch bend range also matches this setting because if it does not the pitch will be all over the place!

On a vibraphone, a plastic or rubber mallet can be used to bend the pitch of a bar by moving from one nodal point (near the edge where the rope runs through, and the center) to another. Each bar is able to bend one semitone below its normal pitch by moving toward the center with the bending mallet.

A special MIDI control message specifically designed to produce a change in pitch in response to the movement of a pitch bend wheel or lever. Pitch bend data can be recorded and edited, just like any other MIDI controller data, even though it isn't part of the Controller message group.

Tempo Bend (Stepless) has no hold function. It will increase or decrease tempo either by a set amount (+/- 6.25%) or to a set value (which can be somewhere between -100% and +100%, stepless).

Pitch bend has a 14-bit range, from 0 - 16383. The two data bytes combined make the pitch bend value. A pitch bend of 0 bends 2 semitones down, while 16383 bends almost 2 semitones up. In other words, C4 plus pitch bend of 16383 is D4, and C4 plus pitch bend of 0 is Bb3.

The Bend range fields determine the range for pitch bend modulation, typically performed with your keyboard pitch bend wheel.

Try to listen to this short phrase where you can hear that the melody uses more notes has more direction and tension. And is a lot lighter with a more syncopated. Rhythm.
