Someone at #renoise irc-channel asked about getting pitch bend values to automation when using actual pitch wheel and it sucks and is very unintuitive that you can’t map the pitch wheel to any parameter.
So: Please give us ability to either map pitch wheel like midi cc’s, or ability to map Instr. Midi Control Pitchbend parameter to wheel.
I have already requested mapping midi CCs to instrument parameters (see here). The response was that it will be done, but not for 2.7. Presumably mapping pitch bend will included at the same time.
