Little help please…

Ok, I sure the answer to this is going to result in hanging my head in shame/shaking it in disbelief at how remedial I am, but I am trying to automate the pitch of my bassline in Massive and I cannot seem to find the right parameter in the drop down within my DAW for the life of me…

I am talking about the overall pitch that is usually assigned to the mod wheel as opposed to the pitch on any particular oscillator.

I don’t think it’s a factor, but just in case, I am using Cubase 5.

Someone please help it’s driving me nuts!

this could work maybe?

1. go to the OSC tab in massive
2. set pitchbend up and down range to desired amount (i normally do +12 / -12)
3. automate pitchbend in DAW
4. ???
5. PROFIT

alternately you could get a similar effect by increasing glide rate in OSC tab in massive, setting voicing to monophonic in voicing tab, and then slightly overlapping the notes in the DAW pianoroll

Is this how the pitch bend is done similar to what cookie monstah uses in this song that starts at 0:27 seconds and is used continuously as the bass line?

double click on your midi file, this should take you into the key editor
click on the panel at the bottom where it say velocity
the next option down is pitchbend
click on that
draw in your pitchbend

emef = nail -> head

That's the one, thank you. Was driving me nuts!

Big ups man, you just saved someone from chucking themselves out the window in sheer frustration

Totally missed the fact pitchbend is midi cc data, not an automatable parameter in Massive, duuuuuuh

Thanks again!
