Post by: fastfingaz on May 11, 2004, 07:55:04 PM
I was wondering how do you use your pitch bend to make it seem like the keybord is " singing" it sounds so soulful and it would be perfect in churc

God Bless

I'm not an expert on this, but here goes. You hit on it already. Think of it like singing . If I want to end up on note D then I would play note C and bend up the note  to D with the wheel. That would be a whole step bend of course you could do a half step also to C#  

Now to do a scoop;  

Bend before the note is pressed, push the wheel back to it's max position and hold it,   press C and bring forward to it's home position  Thus Bb to C
you can reverse these steps also :idea:  :idea:  :idea:  8)
