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
Mode—Macro 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.
