Horn parts are tricky, but the key is to listen to songs and try to emulate the sound of the horn you want.(ie trumpet, sax or bone) If your doing the brass section, best to use a patch that sounds full.
If you do pitch bend it's best for sythn sounds. Doing it to horn sounds can distort the sound some.
I've been listening to Kenny G, some 90s stuff where they use lotsa sax & brass & various other artists of other instruments.
& the Casio has a voice that is exactly spot on with Kenny & sounds full too!! (Tone #163 Tenor Sax) is 1 of them..& I realized that there were some notes I couldn't get to sound exactly like him unless if I used the Pitch Bend feature.
Forgot the song name, but it's in the key of G.
& then there is the jazz guitar as well, I also find myself having to use the Pitch Bend every now & again..
& for you Fenny, you said you make sure you keep away from that feature, once you actually know how its related to the keys, you should have little problem with it after using it a couple of times.
I know this 1 dude who used to bend it to 8..sometimes 10..
I normally bend it to 2 so that I justuse the bend instead of trilling notes manually.
where are all the synth cats..we need your input here..tell us how you use that bend.
MrAndrew is giving in his share..
