I really like pitch bending for various reasons, but I'm sometimes quite limited due to setting an amount of semitones to bend to - after which I need to start a new note or automate the amount of semitones to bend to which would logically cause a bit of popping.
An example would be using one note and bending up two semitones, then wanting to bend up again 2 more semitones from there without starting a new note. Any ideas?
Cheers!
Is there a synth / technique for this kind of pitch bending?
Maybe use glide/portamento instead of pich bend or maybe have a look at this thread viewtopic.php?f=5&t=7501774
In that specific example what I do is start by playing the SECOND note with the PB all the way down, which sounds the first pitch. Then you bend UP your 2nd note, then up again to the third.Jagwah wrote:I really like pitch bending for various reasons, but I'm sometimes quite limited due to setting an amount of semitones to bend to - after which I need to start a new note or automate the amount of semitones to bend to which would logically cause a bit of popping.

This was learned by watching how guitar players approach the same issue, btw! Learned a lot by analyzing (and learning to play) guitar solos that I loved. Yea, I know it's cliche as a keyboard player to want to be a "guitar player"!!!

Yes glide is something I could try thanks for the suggestion. The post in the link looks like a lot of work just to get close when close is going to be off key. Thanks again.Ahornberg wrote: ↑17 Jun 2017Maybe use glide/portamento instead of pich bend or maybe have a look at this thread viewtopic.php?f=5&t=7501774
Great idea Selig, didn't think to incorporate pitch down into the equation and I like where the idea has come from, thanks!!selig wrote: ↑17 Jun 2017In that specific example what I do is start by playing the SECOND note with the PB all the way down, which sounds the first pitch.

Yeah each method will yield some interesting results, so I definitely encourage you experiment with both. I've done both, but it's all really dependent on what you want exactly. Setting the PB all the way down is definitely a fast start way to get it done.
I forgot to mention this is called a "pre-bend" in the guitar world, which is where the idea came from (spent a lot of time around world class guitars players over the years, and still only picked up a few techniques!).
