• PITCH BEND RANGE
PITCH BEND
RANGE
The range of pitch bend can be set from 0 to 12. 0 range
is equivalent to no pitch bend. A setting of 12 permits
pitch bend over a ±1200 cent (2 octave) range. If the range
is set at 7, then pitch bend will be possible over a ±700
cent range (i.e. plus or minus one fifth).
