how to pitch bend in steps

[keyboard hunger]

I would like to ask how can i do pitch bends in steps in all octives so keyboard playing becomes easier while i play in one octives.

I don't think that's what pitch-bending is for - what synth do you use? Perhaps you 've got the possibility to transpose in steps of 1 octave, but that depends on you synth.

I think you mean 'portamento', where it bends automatically to the next note you play. This is dependant on your synth's possibilities. Check your manual if you can do it, if thats the case.

Actually, what I think he means is how to change his pitch bend capability from +/- a whole step to +/- an octave, so that he could play in one octave, and use the bender to shift an octave up or down, thereby making it easier to play.. i.e. Doing a descending run within one octave, then repeating the same run with your right hand, but using the pitch bender to transpose it up an octave.

KeyboardHunger: What keyboard do you have?

I think it's more easy to make use of a switch to shift the octave up/down, like Jordan does in "The Dance Of Eternity" :)

Same here, as many (most?) keyboards come with octave up/down transposing buttons on the left panel near the pitch/mod wheel/bender/stick.

That's the case of the Trinity/Triton series and the Karma. Also Kurzweil K2xxx if I'm not wrong...
