Pitch Bend is not a Control Change, it has its status byte. AFAIK at the moment you can’t send pitch bend with MGP

That’s too bad. I’ve been using it for years with touch osc. Kind of a dealbreaker here. The fact that MG does so much, no pitch control seems to be an oversight. Also, the timecode display isn’t timecode. It’s bars and beats. I hope they update this soon. Other than that, it’s terrific.

I would love to know this as well. I use a Kawai ES110 digital piano as I love the Kawai 88 weighted keys, but since it’s not a real synth / midi controller, it has no pitch or modulation wheels, faders, etc.  
Please let us know if this is possible or can be in a future update.

We are working on the Pitch Bend implementation and it will be available in MGP 1.7.
