Re: [MMM] Digest Number 858

I've checked again, and my roland SC88 accepts a change to the
pitch-bend range very definitely, and I spent a whole hour doing my
checks, with other channels with and without bends. So, if the pitch
bend range of your synth can't be altered then the pitch-bends will be
wrong. But the range I set my bends to was 1 semitone, so the range
divides 200 cents into 128 parts, and bend 127 up does /not/ bend up by
a semitone, but just short of it (63.5/64 of it to be precise, this is
due to the asymmetry of the range)

Pich bends are only 14 bits in all. but All SC88 can alter is the MS
bits. But I can alter the pb range, so I do. If your synth doesn't do
this then your synth isn't compliant with the standard. My synth
doesn't comply because it doesn't recognise the lower 7 bits, well not
to my ear.

That's all folks.
