As the title states, using MIDI control pitch bend on ableton doesn’t work. The original Sublab did this just fine (its the best at it IMO). If I could just have this working like the original it would be amazing,a workaround involves using automation on the glide and using multiple notes (way slower and breaks workflow) Also the original sublab packs don’t react in macro mode with the sphere visualizer. Please help and thanks for the amazing VST. ---

Hey @RealFrameData, Can you go the “Glide” page and check what the bend range is set to? ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/circlesynth/original/1X/7ec33172d3547f4a023883b425c6e54090e5ecf6.png) Try setting it to “12” and adjusting the bend wheel. Let me know if it doesn’t work. ---

Today I’d tried two plugins for pitchbending SubLab in realtime. One is “Fluid Pitch” and the other one is called “Grallion2”. Both work for me here with Cakewalk DAW… ---

okay, now I decide to do my glides with “Global Tune” → assign to envelope or directly to the pitchwheel or foot controller… (so I do not need any plug-in) ![SubLab XL Global Tune](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/circlesynth/original/2X/3/3c6a56c759cd7460b96ec9ae0eeebe75bc11c662.png) ---
