Assigning function to the D-beam

14 May 2008, 20:07

I want to assign a pitch bend control (bend down) to the Fantom G D-Beam but do not want it linked to the Pitch Bender values. (For example I want my bender to go from range -3 to +3 and want the D-beam to be set to one octave or -12)

What is the best way to achieve this? Is there a CC value for Pitch bend or can I assign this?

1. Hold down SHIFT and press ASSIGNABLE on the D-Beam, see what controller the D-Beam is assigned to (should be something like CC02 BREATH).

2. Press the PATCH button in the LIST/EDIT section, go to Pro Edit and reach the CTRL tabs at the bottom.

3. In one of the unassigned CTRL slots, set Source to CC02, Destination to PITCH and increase or decrease Sens to obtain the pitch modulation depth you need.

4. Save the patch.

Thanks Artemiy - that worked great. I had to set the sensitivity to the maximum to get one octave pitch bend.

I guess it's time to start the Fantom-G FAQ
