I'm currently working on a Pitch Bend module which should simplify adding Pitch Bend to synths presets. i.e. instead of having to create a MIDI Source and then wire modulation a Relative Pitch.
This will be a simple module that you can insert on instrument lanes, when it received Pitch Bend MIDI data it will change the Pitch signal.
It will have 2 dials one for positive bend around and one for negative bend about. And in a way, it's more flexible. Because can have different bend amounts in different directions. These dials will have values in the integer number of semitones. The ranges of the dials will be [-48, -1] to [1, 48] semitones.
Does ±48 make sense, should it be less e.g. ±24?
What about ±1? Would it make sense to be 0? Maybe in one direction, you don't want the pitch to change?
What are the good defaults for these dials? I'm thinking -1 and +1.
As a bonus, it might display how much pitch bending it's doing.
I want to hear some opinions on this.
