Hi,
Yes I know what I’m looking for:
CAT PITCH CONTROL.
And yes (again) I’m sure that’s is a good idea.
I wrote on my post about that I’m using pitch bend assigned to aftertouch on a Korg PA3x
It’s common parameters on midi, (but they use different sysex) but the PA3x has the tools onboard to program the voices like that.
Yamahas doesn’t.
"pitch bend is possible in two directions (-/+) which would not be available using AT."
Yes I know. And as I wrote on the post, I need a semitone + CAT pitch control.
(Guitars vibrato and pitch usually are positive values only)
"I don't know what you are actually trying to achieve, but did you have a look at Portamento (Voice Edit / Common)? For mono sounds it's a slick way to get a smooth pitch change from the start key to the target key"
LOL Obviously that is not what I need.
Not even close.
I wrote on my post that’s I need this to play realistic solos (mainly) guitars and it requires pitch bend with one hand only.
Pitch bend on aftertouch it’s very realistic.
Using pitch bend wheel/joystick sound like a joke on guitars sounds.
But thanks for trying.
Hi
The CAT PITCH CONTROL parameter is not what you are looking for, as it controls a pitch range (-24…0…+24 semitones), meaning it has 49 discrete values only.
I'm not sure that it is a good idea to control pitch bend using channel aftertouch. Pitch bend uses two bytes to get the necessary resolution (the ear is quite sensitive to slight pitch changes), where aftertouch uses one byte only. Therefore when trying to control pitch bend with aftertouch you may hear steps instead of a continuous pitch change. Moreover pitch bend is possible in two directions (-/+) which would not be available using AT.
I don't know what you are actually trying to achieve, but did you have a look at Portamento (Voice Edit / Common)? For mono sounds it's a slick way to get a smooth pitch change from the start key to the target key.
