I assume this is because the algorithm breaks the frequency spectrum into discrete bands and only checks which band a given note is instead of doing so but then applying the correct frequency shift ratio to the bent note. I'm sure the algorithm is slightly more complex but not really. Is there a better H7600 patch that can do that or too complex?

       

      Depending on which preset you're using (which one btw?) there should be a quantization control under the CAL tab. Turning this down to 0% should allow for string bends.  Let us know if that doesn't work for you.

      Thanks it worked perfectly. I use DiatonicShift.

      So now I have to ask, what does the quantize parameter do, and do I lose quality or else? It sounds great, so I’m happy but just curious.

        Glad that worked for you!  The quantize is basically just doing auto-tune.  It's forcing all the pitchshifting to increasingly hard quantize to the intervals deteremined by the key and scale.
