I have updated Combo Model V to v1.1.0 RC2:

Added pitch wheel/bend support
Panic button now resets sustain pedal (and pitch wheel)

I don't know how smart it was to add pitch wheel/bend support this late in the development cycle, because I had to rewrite part of the CC and MIDI learn funtionality. Oh, well. I have tested things pretty thoroughly myself, and it seems to work just fine.

The only aspect of this instrument that I don't quite get is why it's free and not 29.99. Or 39.99.

It's a real treat.

hmmm.. not quite sure what I think about this implementation of pitchbend, to be perfectly honest. If it is going to be there at all, why then does it only bend downwards, and not upwards? And then there's the question.. should we be able to set a pitchbend range? or be able to switch it off? (so that the pitchbend wheel could be used for something else while still playing the ComboV).
Anyways, I still think that this, and the ComboF, are wonderful instruments

Hey, most combo organs didn't have pitch bend at all, and even the infamous Gibson G101 that did have it could only do about 1 semitone down, so this is already twice as good!

But seriously: I could do upwards, but then you would get aliasing. I have already tried, and I couldn't actually hear the aliasing myself, but still. Anyway, the pitch bend is a little extra, not a main feature. After all, this is an organ, not a synth.

However, you have a completely valid point about having to be able to switch pitch bend off altogether. I will need to fix that, or the new version might not be compatible with existing projects. The same goes for the sustain pedal. Good catch, thanks!

Now that you have already implemented this G101 key feature what about a new project...the rest will probably be a piece of cake...

Why request pitchbend on a 1st class free emulation of an organ that doesn't have pitchbend?

I have just released v1.1.0 RC3. Changes:

Added sustain and pitch bend enable/disable buttons (both are disabled by default)
Fixed MIDI learning invalid CC MSB/LSB combinations
Updated to latest WDL/IPlug framework

Well, the request was actually to be able to use the pitch wheel for vibrato speed. But once I had added pitch wheel MIDI learn support, I couldn't resist adding pitch bend as well.
