Hellow, I'd like to know how a pitchwheel would be configured on a MIDI triggering device.
I have seen them on million dollar keyboards as well as cheap 100 dollar devices.
What I'd like to know is how it interfaces with the PC.
Question:
would a midi triggering keyboard only pitchbend a certain amount up and down?(+12semitones -12 semitones or other values) or is it configurable?
Question:
Using a keyboard MIDI trigger with soundfonts, will it still allow you to pitch bend the same amount? or is it limited to the amount that the software lets you.
Why I ask? Well, it is imparitive that i should be able to control my expressions. because sometimes I would like the max or min positions of the pitchwheel to hit a fifth or seventh depending on what scale Im playing.
Im really pretty much relating the keyboard MIDI trigger pitchwheel to a guitar effect like the Digitech Whammy where there are some preset scales that you could bend with the expression controller. That kind of pitchbend allows you to do some pretty amazing scale bending even for a guitar.
anyways.
Im just wondering if every type of midi keyboard pitches the same way. It would be ashame if I bought a keyboard that could only bend 1 note up while there's another that would bend a full octave.
