Bend Range (Semitones) and Bend Range (Cents): Up and Down

BendRangeUp(ST) and BendRangeDown(ST) sends a bend range message to an internal
program or a MIDI device, telling it how to define subsequent pitch bend messages. Some
programs may behave strangely when you change the Bend Range value, because they use DSP
Functions to affect the pitch wheel. In that case, you should either set the value of Bend Range to
Prog, or edit the program itself.
NOTE: The settings for BendRangeUp and Down are only reflected in Setup mode. Even if you specify
BendRangeUp and Down values for the control setup (the setup 126 Internal Voices, which defines
controller assignments that are used in Program mode,) bend range values will not be reflected in any
mode except Setup mode, and pitch bend messages in the current program (in Program mode) will result
in behavior as specified for the Pitch Bend Range parameters on the BASIC page in the Program Editor.
BendRangeUp(ct) and BendRangeDown(ct) lets you fine tune the value for Bend Range
(semitones). 100 cents equals one semitone, or one half-step; you can set this parameter
anywhere between 0 and 100 cents.
BendRangeUp, in both semitones and cents, affects all controllers that are set to PitchUp (in the
default settings for the control setup (Setup 126 Internal Voices,) the Pitchbend up parameter (for
the Pitch Wheel) on the Controllers page is assigned to PitchUp). BendRangeDown, in both
semitones and cents, affects all controllers that are set to PitchDwn (in the default settings for
the control setup (Setup 126 Internal Voices,) the Pitchbend dn parameter (for the Pitch Wheel) on
the Controllers page is assigned to PitchDwn). Any physical controller that uses the Control
Destination list can be assigned to PitchUp or PitchDwn. To keep things simple though, you
will normally want to use PitchUp and PitchDwn (controller destinations 130 and 131) as a
Pitch Wheel destinations (see page 7-10 for details,) and use MIDI 21 and MIDI 15 (controller
