I have tried to find out how to map the pitch bend wheel
on my midi keyboard, but Renoise 2.7 does not recognize when
I move the pitch bender wheel in the midi mapping.
The pitch bender does change values in a pattern column when
the midi mapper is not open. Also the midi mapper can correctly
map the “data entry” slider and the modulation,…
I would really like to use the pitch bender though
Select [Tools] >> [~Duplex] >> [~MIDI-Keyboard] >> [~MIDI-Keyboard Keyboard] config.
Then you can see the virtual keyboard of Duplex,
Open the [Settings] panel on the virtual key
Set MIDI-in port on there and set [Keyboard] >> [Pitch Bend] option on there too (select “Route to CC#??”, for exchanging the pitch signal to CC).
Now you can map the pitch bender to anywhere in Renoise by the MIDI-mapper.
If you want to avoid being inputted pitch bend commands on the Pattern Editor, uncheck the “Pitchbend & Controllers” option on the Renoise’s Preferences panel. (Since pitch signals are inputted via Duplex port, it is unnecessary any longer)

But currently, there seems to be a tiny issue about mapping the pitch bender. See this topic too:
Ahh, now I read your first post again and I notice you are using Renoise 2.7 still.
The latest Duplex 0.98b15 needs Renoise 2.8, so the workaround doesn’t fit in your case unfortunately.
Aren’t you going to use 2.8?
(If you aren’t a register user, the 2.8 demo version will come in the near future, I think.)
In renoise 2.8 (With a TON of nice features, joy!) the pitch bend creates M1 … Values in the
panning column which I think is a correct identification of my pitch bender. It has no effect
however and I am still unable to use the pitch bend.
I tried doing what you suggest, mapping to C0, but it did not work despite my efforts. Maybe I am
missing something.
BTW I really like that I can collapse patterns in 2.8 and so much other nice stuff, very nice!

In this picture, I’ve mapped the pitch bend using standard MIDI mapping (CTRL+M) after having selected “Route to CC#”.
You can route the pitch bend to any parameter, I just mapped it to the MIDI Control device as an example.
I think it’s because the Renoise OSC server isn’t started?
Since Keyboard’s functionality is based around this server, you need to enable it first (Renoise preferences > OSC)
Check also this topic which explain the Keyboard application in detail:
It works with UDP not with TCP,… and now I have my pitch
bender mapped, cool!
Thanks a lot, and thanks for the good work!
Hmm, one funny thing:
I am creating some instruments with ReSynth and if I enable the OSC
server some of the layers of the instrument that I have tuned an octave
up or down are played at a different octave making my synths sound really weird.
Maybe this is a ReSynth issue, but though I would report it.
