If you would apply it to the stream, it would mean that you can pitch-bend plugins that do not have a native pitch bend function (or the pitch-bend actually performs filter-effects instead of pitch-sliding) but it would also mean an extra delay on the stream.
You can also bend over, but in some cases you likely don’t want to…
What I truly enjoy about this idea is the micro tuning ability it would provide once Open Sound Control is fully integrated.
I can imagine firing off a bunch of notes in the pattern editor or even live, with the key-tracking metadevice sending different values to synced lfos running the instrument tunings.
i was thinking about this today and it would be something i’d love.
Not sure if this is the place to mention it,
but I’d really like to be able to control the pitch as though it went from -127 to +127 where anything below 0 gets played in reverse.
