Hi, i'm trying to increase the pitch bend on my korg. As standard push the pitch bend wheel adjusts the pitch by a note, say from D to E, i need it to go frm D to F, is this possible to change, i have come across something in the instruction which allued to this but i don't really understand it, if anyone can explain it to me in a simple way it would be much appreciated
thanks

Yep, it is possible.
It is called the P.Bend parameter. It specifies the amount of semitones that the synth will change when you move the pitch wheel all the way up or all the way down. It ranges from -12 to +12. For your case, you need to set it to +3.
You can edit it on the board (full edit - pitch page - p.bend) or you can edit it using the sound editor.
Two points of attention:
* this is a per patch parameter and not a global setting of the board. -> you may need to edit several patches...
* even more accurate, it is a per timbre parameter. A patch can have 2 timbres when in layer/split/multi mode -> you need to edit it twice per patch then.
Have fun!
