PitchBend Controller 365

[tthoms]

Hello everyone.
Unfortunately my midi source (Roland FR4xb) does not have pitch bend hardware. There is no PitchBend wheel. There is the "365 Pitch Bend +" controller in the vA2. I put this controller on a button on the connected NanoControl but it doesn't work like a normal PitchBend. When you press the button on the NanoControl, the sound is bent, but not like a normal pitch bend. How do I have to control this controller so that it sounds like a real picth bend. Is there possibly also a pitch bend - (minus)? Thank you for your answers.

This is intended to use with a continuous controller, like a slider or a an expression pedal to change the pitch gradually. Not a button that only has a ON or OFF state

Having - minus is not good, as the central slider position is often very hard to set precisely, and will cause a dentued sound

Hi Dan.
Thanks for your answer. So I will try to simulate a bulk of needed PitchBend controller from external software. I will start the pitch bend with a ON/OFF switch and send automatically cyclic the needed PitchBend commands. Do you think that will work? Have you any hints for the implementation in my controller software?
Thanks.
Kind regards
Thom

Playing Pitch bend is usually an artistic expression to play a musical phrase, rather than a computed cyclic command

For example look at how it is used by a player here (I did not watched all the video)
