Great news, Mike. I wonder if we will be able to set up the pitch bend range on a patch per patch basis -- the slider is a drag to use :). Of course, a global setting could be usable as well, the idea being to avoid the very hard-to-calibrate slider and have a numeric storable value instead.
 
thnx

Great! That sounds exactly the same as what my Poly is doing although
there is a slight detune at the high maximum but I know what that is
being caused by.

Last night I also got into the DCO and VCF MG using the Y axis on the
joystick and got close to making it work too.

Progress - slow but steady.

Mike.
