bend_down

Pitch bend range when Bend Wheel or Joystick is moved down, in cents.

If bend_up is set to a positive value, then moving the pitch wheel down will cause the pitch to move up.

Examples #

bend_down=1200

bend_down=100

Positive values of bend_down can be useful with instruments such as zithers or guitars, whose construction makes it practical to bend the pitch of notes up, but not down - this way, moving the pitch wheel in either direction will result in a realistic-sounding upwards bend.
