baconhairpiece Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I used to have a Roland RD700SX, and I loved the programmable pitchbending feature on it which allowed me to bend pitches down or up by a maximum of TWO OCTAVES each way, giving me a range of FOUR OCTAVES (!!!) It was really sweet, especially with the Jupiter Lead sound selected and heavy delay and some mild distortion. Had tons of fun recording with that... but now that keyboard is long gone from my posession and-- alas! my Nord Stage 2 88 has but a lowly whole tone up/down pitchbend feature (non-programmable to my knowledge). Recommendations on a pedal, or does anyone know something I don't about programming the pitchbend range on my board? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tobias Åslund Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 The Stage 2 bend range is unfortunately not programmable - and there's no way to change that. You could however get an external synth with nice leads, that has a bigger range for pitch bend - If you like the Roland sound, maybe a SonicCell module would be a good idea.Otherwise you can hope Nord change this in a future OS update, but I would not have my hopes up, since users have been requesting this since the original Stage came out in 2005... Too much stuff, too little time, too few gigs, should spend more time practicing...! 🙄 main instruments: Nord Stage 3 compact, Yamaha CP88, Kurzweil PC4, Viscount KeyB Legend Live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnotherScott Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Recommendations on a pedal Behringer US600 might do what you need [video:youtube] Maybe this is the best place for a shameless plug! Our now not-so-new new video at https://youtu.be/3ZRC3b4p4EI is a 40 minute adaptation of T. S. Eliot's "Prufrock" - check it out! And hopefully I'll have something new here this year. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baconhairpiece Posted July 1, 2012 Author Share Posted July 1, 2012 Yeah that's cool, thanks. I'll have to buy two to be able to go up and down without twisting a knob though. Sigh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
