    Hi Paolo, 

    writing from my cellphone now, so I can't test. 

    But what speaks against giving that a quick try?

    Paul, I can confirm that the Pitch Bend Range parameter controls exactly what its name says: the pitch bend range. The parameter with the same name on the right side of the Perform page is changed accordingly.

    So, I would like to file a feature request to make Pitch Bend freely assignable as well (as is in Vienna Instruments Pro).

    Hi,

    It's now on the wishlist.

    Paul, I see this was not included in the latest version of the player. Not to insist, but just to keep this topic alive and emphasize how relevant it can be for accurate virtualization.

    Paolo, while you're waiting for this wish-list item to be implemented, I guess you already know about the CC-assignable Tuning (Master Concert Pitch) parameter in Synchron Player?

    I'd agree that using MIDI CC-controlled Pitchbend in both VI Pro and Synchron Players would be handy for you, but wouldn't (Master Concert Pitch) Tuning in Synchron Player provide a workaround for you for now? 

    Master Concert Pitch (labelled as "Tuning" in the parameter list in the perform tab) gives a range of about +77c to -81c: i.e. not only adequate range but also slightly better precision than the ± 100c Pitchbend range when assigned to a 7-bit MIDI CC (given that different MIDI CC scaling is used for each of course); in practice that's not too bad.

    Just a thought.

    That's an interesting idea, thank you! While it may appear less related to local pitch adjusting, and more a general parameters, it is true that what I'm looking the instruments to do is this: retuning!

    It would become a bit less handy when using a master tuning other than the standard one, but if this is not the case, it can work!

    Since a new release of the Player is out, and this feature is not included, I'll beg to ask for it again. Dorico 4 will not be out for a long time, and the only opportunity to create techniques for natural tuning of winds is the inclusion of a control of the Pitch Bend via CC.

    Hi Paolo, 

    We will do our best to fit it in with one of the next udpates.

    Thank you very much Paul, that would be great, and open new perspectives in realism!

    Hi,

    Since you are probably working to a new version of Synchron Player for the next new libraries, just a quick note to push on this feature. It would be great for everyone dealing with any type of microtuning.

    I also want this feature request added :)
