Bend Sequence

This Max for Live device allows you to bend through a sequence of pitch bend values rather just bending up and down. Turn your pitch bend wheel into a different kind of melodic tool. Comes with 2 devices, a microtonal version and an equal tempered version.

To set up, first make sure the Bend Width of the device matches your MIDI instrument's bend width. Set it as wide as possible for the most range. Since this device uses 2byte pitch bend rather than 7bit you get precise bending even with wide widths.

Set the amount of steps you want to bend through separately in each direction, then set values of the steps in semitones and start bending.

The microtonal version has decimal point step values as well as a EDO parameter, to easily input values not related to 12TET.

This device is a part of the Bend Series and is meant to work in series with other devices to modulate your pitch bend in interesting ways. To check out the full series, go here: https://gum.co/vYasM
