Bending notes in MIDI

[drathbun]

So I'm to the point where I can create some very cool bass lines by using the piano editor or by trigger MIDI with my keyboard. I am using Sonar 2.0 XL.

I still haven't figured out how to bend notes. I'm trying to do a fretless bass line where notes slide up and down.

There must be a way and I'm just not seeing it!

Anyone?

Does it have a pitch wheel?
You can also edit the Midi notes.

An even easier way is to use Jammer pro. It has Transition windows to adjust the type you want. You can use your keyboard to record to it also then edit it.

No, my keyboard doesn't have a pitch wheel. I use an EDIROL USB interface to my computer to trigger MIDI or I'll edit using Piano Roll in Sonar. I usually use the piano roll in Sonar as I find it easier to edit basslines and choruses this way.

Thanks for the info. I found what I was looking for in Sonar. It was a window panel that needed to be opened so I could control the pitch wheel setting for my MIDI notes.
