Automatable Global Pitch knob for pitchbend

[Marian W]

Hey there,

I would love to automate the pitchbend (pitch of all Oscs) with max4live Lfos and Envelopes for jamming (additionally I am about to make a device which fires various PitchEnvelopes on multiple buttons), and given that the Midipitchbend works in 128 integer steps it doesnt sound smooth at all if I automate a PitchbendMidiOutKnob (like using the pitchbendwheel or automating it).

For finishing a track you would atm have to transcribe the ongoing bending to the Envs/Msegs/LFOS in Zebra anyways to have a smooth result.
When you want to have variations there (bend up/down at the beginning of a note and sometimes bend down at the end of the note(pitchbend has a too low resolution!)) you would atm have to occupy various of the Envs/Lfos/Msegs and automate the pitchmodsource for like 4 Oscillators in Zebra.
Just mapping all Oscs pitch to one multiknob wont work when the Oscs are detuned relatively to each other.


It would be great if you could do the pitchbend in the Daw with its automations in high resolution.
So what i suggest is an automatable Global Pitch/Pitchbend knob.

Most likely you would draw Envelopes from 0 or 1 to 0.5 and change the Pitchbend Up and Down range. Zebra lets those be automated via Midi (Midi learn) already.
Adding here a direct automation of the parameters would be more straightforward too.

What do you think?

Cheers,
