I used Performer 5.0 to send PB Data to two separate tracks which played sine waves a various frequencies. The two tracks were each given different pitch bend values, and the resulting beats were observed and recorded manually. It was a rather involved experiment which took most of the day, so I will not go into detail, instead I will simply present the conclusions: 1.) The K2000 responses to pitch bend messages in a logarithmic fashion. 2.) Unfortunately, regardless of the pitch bend range specified under the "Commons" page, the maximum tuning resolution obtained by using the pitch bend method is approximately (or possibly exactly?) 1 cent. 3.) This fact proves this method to be of little advantage over the Global cent based method. I invite, anyone to challenge these findings; I certainly would not be upset to be proven wrong. I hope, in fact, that I may be proven wrong... -andrew Safe Journey...
