The chroma Polaris has some interesting pitch bend options I vaguely recall. Nord lead uses a wooden finger lever that is very responsive. I always liked the oberheims levers ( pull towards you to bend up)... Seem like lots of room for innovation in this area. I actually play a restless midi guitar that takes pitch bending to a whole new level. -pc
