| Summary | 0008396: MIDI Bender is [-2,+2] semitones and not [-4,+4] as the documentation claims | ||||
| Description | This is the documentation: https://manual.ardour.org/working-with-midi/automation-midi/ It claims the midi bender range is [-4,+4] semitones, however, it seems to be [-2,+2]. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Use a-Fluidsynth on an MIDI track (I have not tested other synths). Select a soundfont (I tested Aspirin_160_GMGS_2015.sf2 and Jurgen_GM_GS_Bank.sf2). Create a midi area and put a B4. Now, open automation on Bender, and raise it to 16383. Now, listen, you'll get a C#5 instead of a D#5. | ||||

There is no rule about the range of the MIDI bender. It's different for each synth and in some cases also different for different voices of a synth. The MIDI spec leaves this undefined. The range is set by the soundfont for each instrument. |

I've updated the manual page. Thanks for the heads up! |
