Cubase 12 - Pitch Bend to Expression Pedal

Hi!

Is it possible to use an expression pedal as a pitch bend? I am using a Nektar Impact LX88+ as a MIDI keyboard and Nektar Pacer for additional controls. Since I am using my both hands to play the keyboard I would like to use my expression pedal on Nektar Pacer to pitch bend. Is it even possible?

Thank you!

Hi and welcome to the forum,

Use the MIDI Input Transformer or the MIDI Insert Transformer:

Filter Target
( Type is | Equal | Controller | And
value 1 (MIDI Controller No.) | Equal | 11) // Expression Controller

Action Target
Type | Set to fixed value | Pitchbend
value 2 | Use Value 1

Function: Transform

Hi!

It’s working partionally. When I use the expression pedal it will just pitch down and “ignore” every other change on the pedal. It resets when I use the pitch bend on the keyboard.

I’m not sure if I made myself clear. I would like my expression pedal to act as a pitch bend - 64 neutral, 0 pitch down, 127 pitch up.

Thanks!

Hi,

It will never return to 0 automatically as the PitchBend controllers do.

Sorry, I was wrong with the last line. This is the right one:

Filter Target
( Type is | Equal | Controller | And
value 1 (MIDI Controller No.) | Equal | 11) // Expression Controller

Action Target
Type | Set to fixed value | Pitchbend
value 1 | Use Value 2

Function: Transform

Yes! It works now as intended! Thank you so much!
