  • Can Percussion Instruments Be Tuned?

    May be a naive wish.... I would like to change the pitch of percussion instruments by up to a major 2nd or more. Can this be done in the Synchron Player? Currently with Latin percussion instruments. I tried to use pitch bend but it does nothing. Is there any other way to change the pitch of single stroke instruments (bongo, conga, clave, wood blocks, etc. ?


  • Hi John,

    All our instruments (including percussion) can be pitched using the pitch bend. Please ensure that your keyboard is sending any pitch bend data. Maybe you have assigned your pitchwheel to send a different midi information.

    If you want, you can increase the Pitch Band Range in the Perform tab of the Synchron Player:

    All the best,
    Erik
