I think I haven't devoted as much as I should to doing it & rely instead upon the host to draw my curve.
This is also caused by not having till now a 3rd party soundcard I could rely upon for taming latency in live playing, so that may change after..uh..
tommorrow, yeah
Bends are very important for me though & a big part of my songwriting..but I don't go anywhere near a full octave, I simply don't need that much; I use about the same as I can bend out of a guitar string..
Go figure.
