Sub Phatty Pitch Bend not Automating in Logic

Post by amos922 » Wed Apr 24, 2013 4:25 pm

Im trying to draw in some automation in Logic for pitch bend but am not able to get it move the pitch bend. I used midi cc 107 and 108 but am not getting any response. I also went into shift mode and changed the pitch bend from +2to -2 to +12 to -12. Is there some reason I am not able to automate that parameter?

the actual pitch bend isn't a MIDI CC, it's "Pitch bend" -- it's a unique MIDI controller all its own. You can probably automate it, but look for Pitch Bend by name, instead of a numbered MIDI CC.

Pitch Bend Range only sets how wide the pitch will bend as you adjust the pitch bend control; you still need the pitch bend control to move before you'll hear a change in pitch.

Try recording MIDI from the synth and moving the physical pitch wheel; see what kind of MIDI gets recorded when you do so... that's what you'll want to automate.
