Pitch Bend Rate
It is possible to alter the sensitivity of the Pitch Bend buttons using the Pitch Bend Rate function.
This lets you adjust the pitch bend ramp up time. The default setting is 80, with a range of 0 - 127.
As shown in the following table, the lower the value, the slower the Pitch Bend Rate and vice versa.
