Most virtual instruments will work with the majority of MIDI controllers&rsquo; pitch bend wheel out of the box. However, if needed, you can always manually map the control yourself with Ableton&rsquo;s MIDI mapping feature.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Pitch Bending In Ableton Live<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;re new to electronic music production, you&rsquo;ve probably heard of pitch bending. The technique can be used to create unique sound effects and as a creative tool for making music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, we&rsquo;ll explain pitch bending, how it works, and how to do it in your DAW.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&rsquo;ll also share some tips on how to use pitch bending to your advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Is Pitch Bending?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pitch bending is a technique used to change the pitch of a sound in real-time<\/strong>. It&rsquo;s a popular technique used to create unique sound effects, and it&rsquo;s easy to do in most DAWs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pitch bending is often used to create a &ldquo;<strong><em>wobble<\/em><\/strong>&rdquo; effect, but it can also be used to create more subtle pitch changes and novel melodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How Does Pitch Bending Work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned above, pitch bending works by changing the pitch of a sound in real-time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The pitch of the sound is controlled by a<strong>&nbsp;pitch wheel&nbsp;<\/strong>on a MIDI controller. The further you move the pitch bend wheel, the greater the pitch change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pitch bending is a great way to add interest to a sound, and it&rsquo;s easy to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How To Pitch Bend In Ableton Live<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Pitch bending is a popular technique used to create unique sound effects and to add a more expressive aspect to live performances.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luckily for us, it is easy to do in Ableton Live.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&rsquo;s a quick guide on how to pitch bend in Ableton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What you will need to follow in this guide:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All you need to follow along with this guide is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>A licensed installation of Ableton Live<\/li><li>A virtual instrument of choice<\/li><li>A MIDI controller that has a pitch bend wheel or is at least capable of sending a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sweetwater.com\/insync\/continuous-controller\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MIDI cc message<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 1<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>First,&nbsp;<strong>load an instrument&nbsp;<\/strong>into a MIDI track.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use any sound you like, but try to avoid percussive sounds.

That means you can&rsquo;t pitch bend a kick drum or a snare drum.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can; however, pitch bend a synth sound or a sampled sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tip 2:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Second, the amount of pitch change will vary depending on the sound you&rsquo;re pitch bending.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A sound with a lot of high-frequency content will have a greater pitch change than a sound with a lot of low-frequency content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tip 3:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, pitch bending is a great way to add interest to a sound, but it&rsquo;s important to use it sparingly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Too much pitch bending can make a mix sound messy and cluttered.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally, the instruments in a song are chosen to have minimal overlap in their frequency ranges. Usually, they get bandpass filtered or bandlimited to a frequency band just wide enough to let the main frequencies through.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you pitch bend, you widen that frequency range, creating less potential space for the other instruments to occupy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Experiment with different sound sources and pitch bend amounts to find the perfect sound for your track. You can even use pitch bending to create novel melody lines.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So get creative and have fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Does Ableton Have Pitch Correction?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Natively? No, it does not, but since Ableton is a VST host, you can use pitch correction VST plugins with it.
