Pitch Bend messages. It must be set to match the maximum Pitch Bend range on the receiving sound
module for best results. "12" means a maximum Pitch Bend of up or down 12 semi-tones (that is, up
or down | octave). When the Pitch Bend range is set to "0", the GR - 1 will send the note data af
interval of a semi-tone to the external MIDI device.
