Midi guitar an M50 (pitch bend)

Run · Post by **Run** » Mon Feb 02, 2009 8:49 pm

I can settle my midi guitar to various pitch bend modes when I play it in chromatic mode so I can play guitar sounds, sax, an others instruments in a more natural way.
Is there a way to program the M50 for its pitch bend be settle equal for all its internal programs?

I'm not sure I understand your question..

If you asking if the M50 can identify standard midi signal, the answer is yes.

But that Casio Midi guitar (which is very cool and I have been wanting one), is not totally capable of current midi standards,,, as in, there are limitations..

You won't be limited by the M50 as much as the midi guitar.

I hope this helps you!

Hi, thanks for trying to help me and others, you're very active in this forum. What I mean is:
1. How (or where in the book is it explained) can I calibrate the M50 joystick to obtain the pitch bend value I want?

2. Is it possible to calibrate the joystick to get the same pitch bend values for all programs. I understand that this is irrelevant for many instruments such as pianos but for guitar, fretless bass, sax, brass and others it's important.

3. This midi guitar is capable (when set in chromatic mode) to make the sound react to bending techniques (but the synth response is related to how I set the tone increment in the guitar setup.

there's no global pitch bend value that's for sure so you'll have to edit all the progs and combis you want to use by hand to match the same bending values.

Where is pitch bend located for each sound?

Run,

There are a couple of ways to do it within a combi & sequence, and probably more within a program.

First, try to use the Tone adjust,,, that might be your ticket.

Or, I believe under P1 (Controllers), you can set it up there for the combi/Seq.

I believe there are more methods to achieve what your trying to do..

Try these two methods, and report your findings so I know the for sure answer..

I hope this helps!

For Kev410 : You can find information about pitch bend config for ocs1 and ocs2 on page 37 of the user manual.
