hello,

I'm trying to have a PD fader to send midi pitchbend data to the output of my comport (connected to a hardware device I made).

I already got the comport to work and I can send pitchbend data with a message string. Now I'd like to have a fader doing the same thing with variable pitchbend data ...

The problems i have are :

midi pitchbend = statusbyte + 2 databytes , Most significant bits of those data bytes are 0 .
=> how can I turn the sliders decimal number into binary data/counter that can be transformed to the 2 bytes after the statusbyte ?

I guess the easiest way would be : route a bendout back to the midiin of PD then send this to the comport .

Hard way : turn decimal into binary and reconstruct this back into usefull midi data ...

... anyway my hardware fader is responding to Cubase through PD ... so no need for this anymore ...
