In Mackie mode, the Behringer BCF2000 sends pitch bend values for each of the faders.
The data looks like the below, moving a fader from the bottom to the top. The data list below is sorted in reverse; the topmost line is the last message when the fader is at the top of its travel.
Is there any way to work with pitch bend data in CSS? I would have thought it was a common scenario, so maybe I'm just missing something?

Hey,
I'm new but this question has been raised already two years ago.
I'm having the same issue with my Faderport:
I see absolutely no possibility how to use the Fader.
Which is like THE reason to have a Faderport!
PLEASE developers,
give some answer or at least a hint if implementing pitch bend is something on your agenda!!!
Besides that and some other buggy behavior the app is really fun to work with :-)
Yes, I just took granted it would work. It would be good to hear the developer's comment. It's a puzzling omission.
I'm still desperate to use my motor fader with pitch bend values.
Any suggestions on how to do it?
btw: I'm currently trying to send raw midi data to the fader after finding out 224 is Chan 1 Pitch Bend Change.
Setting the fader to a sepcific value works:
self._send_midi((224, 0, 108))
But the problem seems to be to include dynamic information like:
self._send_midi((224, 0, (self.song().master_track.mixer_device.volume.value)))
or modifiers
self._send_midi((224, 0, ("m1"))) / self._send_midi((224, 0, (self.get_modifier_value("m1"))))
because:
"TypeError: No registered converter was able to produce a C++ rvalue of type int from this Python object of type str"
And I still have no idea on how to get values from moving the fader...
Help please!
Hey developers, still waiting for any response:
Will there be pitch bend support in the future?
Or can you provide a proper tutorial on how to use it?
Most of my controllers use pitch bend for faders (esepcially motor faders) and Keyboards usually do too.
Buying thes software I expected it (and still want it) to be able to work with the quite basic concept of pitch bend since you promote it like this:
"Works with any MIDI Controller"...
(sorry for repeating the question, I just want an answer here!)
Pitch bend support please?
