Help! Operator - Tweak Pitch Bend

Post by sundancemusic » Fri Sep 07, 2007 3:58 pm

I am using Operator with the most basic sine wave and would like greater control over the pitch bend on my M-Audio axiom49. I tweaked the pitch shell parameter "PB range" to 1, but I would like more "microscopic" control. Is there any way to set this parameter lower, ideally to ".5"

The goal here is to be able to bend a note 15cents out and land perfectly back. Please help!

hello

there is a panel somewhere in operator which reveals a PB (pitchbend) range for u to adjust.

I found the parameter "PB" on the Pitch Shell. The default is +5 and it can be adjusted to +1, but that is too course of a refinement/bend. I am looking to assign the PB to about 50 cents or even 25 through its full range of movement. Is this possible?

i have found that many text-boxes in ableton allow you to type in exact decimals to 7 or so places. so for this pitch bend, try typing in 0.5. it might display as +1, but I bet you will find your bend only going to 50 cents.

The pitch shell PB will not allow you to do less than one. Tweaking the fine tuning knob worked just fine...
