any way to automate pitch bend?

is there anyway to automate pb? the pitch bend on both my keyboards (what are the chances? they both detune differently so it's definitely coming from the keyboards) are automatically detuning every couple seconds and the only way i can keep them in tune is to map them to an external LFO in my DAW and have them slowly weave in and out of tune by like 0.0001. lol

 

You do it in your DAW's MIDI editor, not host automation.

 

true. but i jam a lot in my DAW, my midi keyboards keep going way out of tune while i'm messing around or trying to write something every 10 seconds or so.

 

Sounds like you should probably clean the gunk inside the pitch wheel mechanism. Get a can of Deoxit and spray it around the wheel so that it gets inside the nooks and crannies.

You can also filter out pitch bend events before they hit the plugin in most DAWs, AFAIK.

 

really? how do i filter out pitch bend in Live?

 

anyone?

 

AFAIK Live itself has no such a function. If you have Max for Live (included in Live Suite), you can use a device called "midi-filter" (available on https://maxforlive.com/ MIDI-Filter 1.1 by md5).

 

this is awesome!
