Mapping pitch bend to a knob in Ableton?
I sold my old midi controller and tried mapping the pitch bend (usually a wheel on a keyboard) to a knob on my pad controller and realized that I couldn't map it. Anyone know if there is a way to do this in ableton without a keyboard with a wheel?

it doesn't highlight purple, in other words, it's unnasignable.

That's mapping to the transposition to audio which goes by increments of semitones, which isn't a smooth pitch bend, it also sounds terrible too since it's warped.

I'm talking about the actual pitch bend in midi tracks.

Oh I see, you might have to do it inside the synth you're using. Sylenth has a pitch bend wheel that can be mapped.

Gotta automate pitchbends for audio, or use it in a simpler/sampler.

It makes no sense to me why they would not let you map pitch bend for midi unless it's used with a midi controller that has a pitch bend wheel.

Pitch bend has no corresponding control change number or value, it's hard-coded. That's why you can't assign. The only way to do this is to use a work-around of some sort. Frequency shifter might work, if you own it, but I'm not really a big fan of the way it sounds.

Other suggestions for a work-around would be to try something like MaxMSP or PD to convert the cc into pitch bend. I'm sure there is some third-party software that also does this. You might also want to look into to try some midi routing options with something like MIDIyoke/OX (if you're on a PC) or system preferences (MAC). But that is all a bit long really.

The only thing I can see working is a hack.

Or you could buy another little midi keyboard.

is this something that's consistent across other daws or is this something in Live only?

I don't want to buy another midi keyboard unless I have to.
