PITCH BEND
The PITCH BEND event is easily recognized by its name in the
event’s STATUS line. Unlike the CONTROL CHANGE event, we
do not need to be concerned with the value of 1V when using the
pitch bend wheel for the Equinox’s internal sounds. The amount
of pitch bend applied is indicated by the value of 2V. When the
Pitch Bend wheel is resting in its centre position it is said to be at
value 64. No events are actually inserted into the track however
unless the wheel is moved to a different position. As the wheel is
raised, increasing the pitch of the sound, it generates a stream of
PITCH BEND EVENTS with 2V values of 65 upwards. At its
maximum position, the wheel sends a 2V value of 127. A similar
thing happens if the wheel is moved downwards from its centre
position. A stream of events is generated descending from 63 to
0 at the minimum position.
Remember that for any movement of the Pitch Bend wheel, events
will not only be generated when the wheel is moved up or down,
but also an equal number of events will be generated as the
wheel is allowed to return to its centre stop position. Usually,
moving the pitch wheel for just a few seconds will result in hun-
dreds of individual pitch bend events.
