Pitch Bending amount in Ableton Instrument Rack?

Post by junqueira » Sat Mar 11, 2017 3:31 pm

I really like some of the Bass presets in Ableton's "Instrument Rack". I know how to properly pitch bend the basses, but is there a way to change the amount of semitones that are being affected?

When I use any 3rd party plug in, I can pitch bend either 2 semitones, 3, 12, etc. But I don't see any option in Ableton's Instrument Rack for this.

You could open up the rack and adjust this in whatever instrument is being hosted by the rack. It's the synth inside the rack that will have this setting, not the rack itself.

How do you adjust it on this? I don't see anywhere to expand it

Ah, that one must use an instrument you don't own. Sorry then, don't think there's a way to adjust that.

I don't have Sampler...Do you think that's the problem?

Yes, if that rack uses a Sampler then it's definitely the problem you're having. On the plus side, at least you can still use those sounds, even if you didn't buy the plugin yet. Better than not being able to use them at all I guess.

Just would like to add that not all synths have a parameter like "pitch bend range",
there are also many that are just fixed to something like +/- 12 which is fine for
most musical purposes, but not for special fx. So if you can't find the parameter
in plugins you own...maybe it's just not there :)
