Respectfully, something to forward to the developers for future consideration: Pitch Bend and/or (Channel) Aftertouch control support over the H90 parameters. For the keyboardists / multi-instrumentalists among us. The H90 is so full-featured & deep, I can’t help but apply it in my synthesis chains***.
I got awfully used to the double-precision PitchBend (12 bit?) implementation in my H9s (still using all three), as well as the PitchFactor. Yes, it’s a little tricky to nail exact return-to-center in the pitch parameters. And PB, along with Channel AfterTouch, is a lot to add to any serial MIDI stream. High potential for clogging it up, although Poly AT would be even more high-maintenance, in this respect.
I, like many I suspect, are looking ahead to MIDI 2.0, and toying with current MPE tactics. Even a partial implementation would be a step in the right direction. Now, I would be the last one who would like to see a huge chunk carved out of (what seems to be) the H90’s power in reserve.
But … it just seems like a no-brainer to add some features that pull in the keyboard-centric crowd. And I didn’t even ask about MIDI Note support! PitchBend alone seems to be a great place to start, for a ‘harmonizer’. Something to think about. Thanks.
*** No affiliation, but some great problem-solving products: MIDI Solutions. I currently use an Event Processor (Plus) under the ‘board to remap unsupported MIDI messages to CCs. It works. For you ITB users with a connected MIDI KB, some kind of ‘munge’ plugin / application will get you to the same place.
