Subject: Re: [AN1x-list] Re: Pitch bend from a pedal

From: Reggie <reggie@...>

Hello Ed, Jerry and Gary, I have seen this post and I have a roland EV-5
volume (CV) Pedal, I also have a peavey Midi controller (16 programmable
faders), so I thought I'd see if I could do what you want to do and you
can, very easily. If you are using VST 5 it would be easy to do as
well.

I checked out the values that XG-edit and AN-edit send for PB and it is
0-127 on both, that makes it simple. The message you need to send is:

Ex 00 YY


where x= channel 1-16(0-F hex), 00=PB and YY is the value that is sent,
0-F7 hex (0-127)

I hope this helps.
