PChannel Pitch Bend Range

The following settings in the PChannel Properties window specify how far a maximum pitch bend, as set by Continuous Controllers, changes the pitch:

The Oct and Int text boxes work in tandem just as they do in the PChannel Octave and Interval Transposition group. The maximum range is 127 semitones, which is 10 octaves plus a 5th. The minimum range is 0, which means that pitch bend has no effect at all.

The range applies both above and below the note. A range of one octave, for example, means that the note can be bent from one octave lower to one octave higher, not that the entire range of possible pitches is only one octave.
