( MODx) I am trying to create a performance with organ on left and sax on right. How do I control pitch wheel so that it affects the sax only?
Thank you
The Pitch Bend Wheel always sends the MIDI Pitch Bend message (En) where “E” is Pitch Bend, “n” is the MIDI Channel 0-F. The wheel generates a Channel message, whether any tone generator responds, how far and in what direction it responds to the movement is totally dependent on the settings within the receiving tone generator Part.
To prevent a Part from responding is done on the Receiving end. You can prevent any Part from receiving the message by setting it a Pitch Bend Range of +0/-0 or by setting the Part’s Receive Switch to Off... which you choose is really a matter of what you wish to do with the physical controller.
From the HOME screen:
Move the cursor to highlight the organ Part
Press [EDIT]
Touch “Part Setting” > “Pitch” > Set the Pitch Bend Down and Up ranges to 0
Extra Credit:
If your goal is to isolate the organ in one channel and the saxophone in the other, please realize that often a mono instrument uses a stereo Effect. And that the Reverb and Variation Effects are most often “returned” equally to the stereo mix. Complete isolation may not be possible if these System Effects are involved.
Example, the Rotary Speaker Insertion Effect is a mono In/stereo Out Effect. In order to accomplish the “rotary” motion, this effect uses the stereo field... you can, by panning this Part hard-right, get some movement right-to-center (as opposed to right-to-left)... in general, the Insert Effects will ‘pan’ just fine (they are a part of the instrument), but you will notice any signal that is routed to the shared System Effects, will be returned across the stereo field. You may hear a ghostly sound represented in the opposite channel... just FYI.
Question: Have you tried using Motion Control (Super Knob/FC7) to “morph” between organ and saxophone?
