Yes, since I used the EX800 code and added the Poly specific functions
into it, the bend range parameter 87 is already available.
All I need to do is migrate it into the extended parameters and it
will be available on a per patch basis. I am thinking that since no
one would probably ever use a bend range value of 1 that I will use
that to determine if the global bend range is used on a patch or the
actual extended parameter. So if you set the bend range to zero in the
extended parameter then there's no bend at all. If you set it to 1
then the global bend range becomes the bend range that will apply. And
if you select anything from 2 to 64 then the extended bend range
applies. That would give you maximum flexibility.
What do you think?
BTW, if we do this then we could rewire the bend pot for something else.
Mike.

being to avoid the very hard-to-calibrate slider and have a numeric
storable value instead.
