Course Pitch MIDI Smoothness in Serum?

Started by Bodey

Hey All, I've been wondering if there's a way in Serum to make the Course Pitch (CRS) sweep more smoothly when it is assigned to some sort of MIDI control. It's really nice and smooth when you click and drag on the setting, or when you modulate it with an LFO or envelope, but when you have a MIDI control mapped to it, due to what I imagine is the 128 value limit on MIDI position data, you can really hear the stepping of the pitch shift when you move your controller. Seems like there would be some sort of way to interpolate or smooth the data to still allow for a smooth sweep, or maybe there's already a way and I'm just missing it, but I couldn't find anything in the manual. Thanks! :)

You should use a 14-bit pitch bend message or plug-in automation instead of cc, it's a limitation of a MIDI CC (7-bit = 128 steps, not enough for frequency / our ear).
