Pitch bend wheel became "sticky"
« on: January 14, 2023, 06:37:28 pm »
I'm not sure exactly what I was doing at the time, but I was editing a patch and somehow caused the pitch bend wheel to stop snapping back and instead behave like the mod wheel, staying where it was left when I removed my finger. I don't see this as a feature in the manual, so figure it's a bug. Apologies if it is an option and I missed that in the manual.

I've not heard about that happening. The pitch bend strip should always returns to the middle.

Could it be that one of the other mod strip modes, Macros or Seq/Arp, was accidentally activated?

Hi DrJustice. No, I cycled through the 3 modes several times and when I came back to the keyboard mode the pitch wheel continued to behave this way. I noticed it because the keyboard was suddenly wildly out of tune while I was playing because the wheel was slightly north of center. Very odd. I had to power cycle the synth to correct it.

Hasn't happened since, but I thought you guys should know.

Ah, OK. The only other thing I can think of to cause something like it is a MIDI loop, apart from a bug of course. Anyway, this is the only report of this that I know of. Perhaps some freak occurrence (no pun intended) - let's hope it was the only one.
