Pitch Bend input to send CC?

I haven't been able to figure this out. And I don't understand the option to "set variable to bend amount", when I can already set a variable under "bend amount:"

What would the rules look like for a conversion to CC, where incoming bipolar pitch bend would translate into +pitch = 64 to 127, -pitch = 62 to 0, with no pb = 63?

Thanks,

Hi,

Set the incoming to any amount variable to pp

Then add the following rules:

// This shifts the upper byte into the lower value since pitch CC is only 7 bit precision

// We discard the 7 least significant byte

pp=pp>>7

// Now we need to offset the result (old MSB now new LSB) by 64 so that it is 0-127 instead of -64 to +63

pp=pp+64

 

Then output is control change,  CC (whatever) on MIDI CH (whatever) value pp

Thank you! That worked.

I always thought that the first pair was the MSB and the last the LSB. Guess I had it backwards.

Also figured I could simply discard the first pair with an unused variable. Worked as well.

Glad it worked!
