Special Function Controllers
This section describes the Special Function Controllers listed on
page 49, and gives some examples of how to use them. Most of
these control internal functions of the ExpressionMate as
described (and thus do not send any MIDI) but a few allow
sending other kinds of MIDI messages that are not true ÒControl
ChangeÓ messages.

Pitch Bend (PBend+)

This sends pitch bend messages, which let you raise or lower the
pitches of notes. Values above 64 will raise a noteÕs pitch, while
values below 64 will lower the pitch.
Keep in mind with all the pitch bend controllers, you must set the
bend range on the receiving instrument, not on the
ExpressionMate.

Reverse Pitch Bend (PBend-)

PBend- does the same thing as PBend+, but works in reverse.
Values above 64 will lower a noteÕs pitch, while values below 64
will raise the pitch.
