Is there a way to pitch bend via midi?

Pitchbend what? A synth? Try the pitchbend wheel...

If you're talking about an audio clip - you probably be better off by loading it into Simpler. Then you can bend it!

Cheers,

Sorry that was kinda vague. I mean the tempo like with the pitch bend buttons on a CDJ. It would make it easier to beatmatch Live with a turntable if I could do this with midi or a the keyboard.

Allright...

I don't use Live that way, but know the topic has been up before. Try a search!

oh, Lofi help out a little bit at least

-try assigning a midi fader to the tempo and look at the bottom of the screen for additional parameters while assigning it.

But really, Andreas...

I don't use that feature - so I don't understand what he's after. Adjusting tempo by MIDI CCs? But pitchbend isn't an ordinary CC, is it? You're just describing how to control tempo with any midi controller. If that's the case you'd don't even have to search the forum. That answer is right in the manual...

What the hell - if that's the case:

Press ctrl+M (if on PC)
Click the tempo indicator
Turn the appropriate knob/fader on your midi controller
Look at the bottom of the screen - fill in max and min values
Press ctrl+M again

Yausa! Now you can control tempo from your midi controller. If that's what you're after. Don't know anything about beatmatching, though...

Cheers,
Mikael

I think you are refering more to the nudge function than to any real tempo change: you want to reproduce the little finger push or pull on a vynil turntable right ? Then, in clip area; down left, you'll see two small buttons, that you can assign to any key or MIDI button with the description made above.
Be aware that this nudge is dependant on the general quantize setting: if you set it to none, you'll get a very tiny step and thus will have the same feel as giving a push to a vynil.
If you need your clips to still start quanzed, use the quantize parameter in the clip area: it overtakes the general quantize thing. So you can have global quantize to none and clip quantize to 1 bar or whatever, and you'll be fine.

amo - Thanks!

That was exactly what I was lookin for. A little push/nudge for when the track falls off a little, I knew that there was a way to do it.
