pitch wheel adjustments in Logic 8

Hello people.
I upgraded to Logic 8 from Logic 6 this summer. I'm still getting acclimated to all of the new instruments and features. I've been trying to figure out whether or not there's a way to adjust the extent to which the pitch wheel bends the pitch. Most of the time, I want more range than a half step up and down. One of things I love about Reason is easy manner in which one can make such an adjustment. I think it allows up to plus or minus an octave. Surely there's a way to tweak this in Logic, right?
Any wisdom on this matter would be appreciated. | |

isn't pitch bend range usually a setting on the controller that you are using?

pitch wheel is always 0-126.
Its up to the instrument how to respond to those numbers.

Pitch bend is always 0 - 16383.
It's up to the instrument to respond to those numbers.

Pitch bend is always -8192 to +8191 with 0 being the original pitch.
It's up to the instrument to respond to those numbers.

So, do any of the stock Logic 8 instruments allow for this adjustment?

I just took a quick glance at the instrument guides and ES1 has a "Bender Range" parameter near the bottom...I imagine most of them would.

check out the manual about the transformer window it allows you to scale (there's a preset for pitchbend) midi data from your controller. (choose window--transformer)
If you want to have each track respond differently to the data you can set up multiple transformer objects from the environment window (the oft neglected radness of logic). but, the environment window gets deep. so definitely read up on it more first.
it's not as easy as Reason, unfortunately, but with a little more work you can really fine tune those values. hope this helps.

Pitch bend is always 0x00 0x00 to 0x7F 0x7F with 0x00 0x40 being the original pitch.
It's up to the instrument to respond to those numbers.

I noticed a Bender Range parameter on ES2 as well. I think EXS-24 calls it something else though. Seems like some of the smaller instrument don't have this parameter so you'd need to do something in the environment.
It's been a while since I used Logic. I forgot how silly the instrument interfaces can be. Ultrabeat has such a weird looking interface that I just stopped using it altogether. Too confusing.

pitch bend is -8192 to +8191 (equaling 16384 (2^14) discrete steps (0 to 16383) or 14bits (a typical midi message being 7 bits (2^7 = 128, which is to say 0 through 127).
