Pitch Bend via Midi Controller

Post by skram »

Hi Everyone,

When controlling Nord Drum 3P with an external midi keyboard controller, is it possible to use pitch ben on the controller? Right now the Nord Drum doesn't respond to pitch bend. Is there a setting I need to adjust? or is it not possible?

Thank you!

Hi Skram, welcome to the forum!

No, you can't do pitch bend.

You can control the pitch of the tone with MIDI CCs, but that's stepped and goes through the entire note range, not a small and smooth increase or decrease relative to the note you're playing.

Cheers,
Albert
