MIDI Action: Pitch

The Pitch action is a MIDI-based output. It transmits a MIDI Pitch message to the specified MIDI device when activated.

The Pitch message is used to modify the pitch of sounds being played on a specified MIDI channel.

The following is the MIDI Pitch Value range across most standardized MIDI devices: 0 = Maximum downward pitch bend 8192 = No pitch bend 16384 = Maximum upward pitch bend

Action Inputs

Channel

The MIDI channel that the MIDI Pitch message will be sent down.

Type	Whole Number (Integer)
Required	Yes
Min - Max Value	0 - 15
Allows Variables	Yes
Allows Template Text	No

The MIDI channel values in Aitum are 0-15. Most MIDI software and hardware define MIDI channel values as 1-16. This is true for the channel values of both Notes and Control Changes.

This means that setting a channel to 0 in Aitum is equal to 1 in most other devices and software’s. The Aitum team intends to change the values internally to be 1-16 in a future update. (Update timeline TBD)

Value
