Pitch bender

Design Concepts
1

Hello,

Anyone tried to make pitch-bender like on classic hardware synths?

I assume this will be possible if there is an option (maybe vmidibox has it) to send signals from potentiometer in following manner:

  • if value >64 and rising - > send relative difference +

  • if value <64 and falling -> send relative difference -

Just an thought, I have no idea if this can be done at all. I had a idea to modify a potentiometer (add few springs :wink: ) and try to use it as a bender…

Any ideas?

Sounds interesting - the handling would be similar to a jog wheel known from videorecorders (e.g.). Such a feature could be realized with a Meta event (requires programming skills and a MIDIbox of course ;-))

Best Regards, Thorsten.

Meta event can be programmed in this manner?

I had no idea about that  :-/

anyway, great!
