NS3 Ptchbend Controls Question

Post by Fallboard »

Hey QQ, but can you now change the bend range on the wooden bender and can you assign pitch changes to aftertouch too? Sorry, new to the NS line. After the NS3C was announced, I'm ordering one ASAP and putting my 5D61 up for sale!

It is a pitch bend stick only. No range adjustments. After touch is on the keys, never on the pitch control stick/wheel.
Do you mean whether you can modulate other parameters with it? No, you can use the wheel for that.

The pitch stick can only do +2/-2 range. That´s all it does.
You can however, with the synth section, use the oscillator configuration "pitch", with wave, classic and formants, and asign the oscilator control to the mod wheel, control pedal or aftertouch to get as much as +24/-24 bend range. This can also be used to control the speed and/or depth of the lfo:s so you can get pretty crazy vibratos that way too :)
