How to actually use operator's pitch bend automation?

Post by yeaokwali » Tue Sep 11, 2012 10:34 pm

Ok so I know where the pitch bend parameter is located in operator, but I can't figure out for the life of me. How to bring up its automation on the actual grid, so that I can affect said midi as I see fit. For example say I want a pitch bend of 0 across the first two bars of an Fmaj7 Chord (Unaffected basically), then on the third bar I raise it to a pitch bend of +3 (a Gmaj7 Chord) How would I go about getting the actual pitch bend automation line to show up on the grid so I could do this manually? Can you not affect pitch bend without a wheel on a midi keyboard? Seems kinda of "caveman" seeing as how technical a program like a DAW is.

Set the pitch bend range within Operator. Draw the pitch bend automation curve in Envelopes/MIDI Ctrl/Pitch bend in the clip.

Is this is what you are after?

Yes :mrgreen: and I was able to edit to taste......now my next question is why is this automation in the envelope section of clip view?

Presumably because it is MIDI data you are editing not Operator parameter data.
