I do it by ear, but am wondering if you guys do that or by numerical value? I mean when pitch-bending with the envelopes, also does anybody know the # between semi-tones or tones, is it by the thousands, so like .500 is a semi-tone?

Oh ok. I was wondering since I have this song where I put a pitch bend at the end, on the very last note of that particular instrument, which is from the Kore Player. When I load up the song it plays fine, but when I play it and go back to the beginning and start it again, it's like the whole instrument is out of tune. So I had to take off the pitch bend at the end and now it doesn't happen anymore.

my pitch is relative so I start by number and eventually do it by ear.
