Pitch Bend

Firmware menu name: PITCH BEND

Send channel-wide 14-bit MIDI Pitch Bend.

Pitch Bend macro

When to use it

Use Pitch Bend to drive the MIDI pitch bend wheel from a knob. Bend is channel-wide, so there is no CC number to set — just a channel. The range is the full 14-bit bend span (0-16383, centre 8192), which by default puts the bend centre at the knob's midpoint. Narrow Min/Max to limit how far the knob can bend, or set both to the same value to pin the bend.

Parameters

ParameterRangeWhat it does
ModeMacro output type. Change this to switch between MIDI, internal routing, and CV16 targets.
MinimumMode-specificValue sent when the knob is at minimum travel. Units follow the target (MIDI 0–127, 14-bit 0–16383, device parameter native range, CV volts, LFO %, etc.).
MaximumMode-specificValue sent when the knob is at maximum travel. Must be greater than or equal to Minimum.
ChannelGlobal, 1 – 16MIDI channel for outgoing messages. Global uses the project's global channel setting.
InvertTrue / FalseWhen True, knob clockwise motion maps to decreasing values (minimum ↔ maximum swapped).
OutputsUSB / DIN / combosWhich physical MIDI outputs carry this macro: USB, Out 1, Out 2, or combined masks.
