One weakness of both of my keyboards (preexisting) is lack of a decent mod wheel (there is actually a mod “button” on the CTK-7200 and only a pitch bend on my PX350 (that makes more sense since it is mostly a digital piano)).
So, I was just thinking. I know I can route modulation (cc1) to a midi fader (I have 9 of them).
But, I just thought, if I really want to use the “wheel” controller to control modulation, should I be able to remap the CTK-7200 pitch bend so it effects cc1 (whatever is set for modulation based on the synth) using GP? [I know I would then not able to use it separately for pitch if I did that].
Actually, could I set up pitch bend controller for any parameter within GP? (Or am I missing something).
You could use pizmidi midiConverter3.
This plugin is deprecated but still works correctly, I’ve just tested it.
You could add a widget to bypass it when you want to revert to pitchbend mode.
I was actually looking at this a few years ago when I purchase the Native Instruments S-88 controller (1st version) that only had the ribbon controllers for pitch and modulation.
Big mistake for live performance .
Unfortunately they are a Russian company and do not ship overseas at the moment…
This was not the case when I was looking at it. It was $130US when I inquired…
Don’t know if there are other hardware alternatives to this. I found it interesting, but did not purchase it.
The wheels and knobs can be assigned to any midi CC#.
