I’d really like to be able to slide up from a D to a G# all in one go but the pitch bend only allows up to a tone - can I go further?
Hi and welcome to the forum,
The Pitch Band range depends on the sound generator (instrument). You can set it up with most of the instruments.
But you can also use
- MIDI CC65 to switch Portamento On/Off
- MIDI CC84 to amount of Portamento
- MIDI CC5 to set the Portamento Time
Hopefuly, your instrument suports Portamento.
