Hi,
I only seem to be able to get the pitchbend scale (on a midi pitchbend controller lane) in Cubase 14 to display as -/+100 OR semitones.
I would like to be able to see the raw MIDI data (as you used to be able to) +/-8192 or (0 to 16383).
The manual states that turning off semitone grid should give the +/-8192 range, but it doesn’t.
Can anyone help?
Hello,
it is even a bit more complicated.
The overall pitchbend value is set up in the synth you are playing on that channel.
It can differ from 0 semi tones (no pitchbend available) to e.g. 12 semi tones.
Normally the “default” pitchbend value in the synths is 2 semi tones.
Keeping that example, then the 2 semi tones are “diveded” into 128 steps, the value the pitchbend controller can represent.
If the synth is set to 12 semi tones pitchbend range, then these 12 semi tones are divided into these 128 steps.
And then it will get even more crazy, as the mid value for no pitch bend is 64, and will go from 64 to 127 for bending the pitch upwards, and from 64 down to 0 for bending the pitch downwards.
So what you can edit/set/record in Cubase are the 128 values.
How much these will bend the pitch depends on the settings of the sound source.
And to use the pitch bend grid properly, you need to set up the grid first at point 3:
At least it does for my C14 Pro version.
See here (sorry for the German Screenshot, but it should be the same in the English version):
I think Steinberg changed the values from Midi 1.0 to cents with getting ready for Midi 2.0.
While there is a preference which lets you toggle between the old 7bit view and the, shall we call it percentage view?, some areas in Cubase ignore this setting and only work from 0 to 100 now. PB seems to be one of those areas.
The manual was obviously overtaken by the reality of the program.
Or this case the 14-bit view. Removal of 14-bit view in Cubase 14 how ironic!
Apologies for not being clear, this is a scale not a pitch range issue.
I understand how PB range works.
/\BUMP/\
Anyone?
