Output MIDI pitch bend values Outputs pitch bend values received from a MIDI device. The MIDI port and channel can be chosen with messages or by double-clicking on the object. Cycling '74 Max MIDI port Message Sets MIDI Input Port/Device TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE Pitch Bend Amount TEXT_HERE MIDI Channel TEXT_HERE MIDI port (a-z) Specifies the port from which to receive incoming pitch bend messages. If there is no argument, bendin receives from all channels on all ports. MIDI device name The name of a MIDI input device may be used as the first argument to specify the port. MIDI port (a-z) and channel A letter and number combination (separated by a space) indicates a port and a specific MIDI channel on which to receive pitch bend messages. Channel numbers greater than 16 will be wrapped around to stay within the 1-16 range. Extended MIDI channel number A number alone can be used in place of a letter and number combination. The exact meaning of the channel number argument depends on the channel offset specified for each port in the MIDI Setup dialog. See the port message Select a MIDI port Double-clicking on a bendin object shows a pop-up menu for choosing a MIDI port or device. Receive MIDI input The bendin object receives its input from a MIDI pitch bend message received from a MIDI input device. Set the MIDI port The word port, followed by a letter a-z or the name of an MIDI port or device, sets the port from which the object receives incoming pitch bend messages. The word port is optional and may be omitted. Port Name Set the object's midi port based on a device name. The attribute will attempt to do a case-sensitive partial string match based on the attribute's value. If a specific channel number is included in the argument, there is only one outlet. The output is the incoming pitch bend value from 0-127 (the most significant byte of the MIDI pitch bend message) on the specified channel and port.

If there is no channel number specified by the argument, bendin will have a second outlet, on the right, which will output the channel number of the incoming pitch bend message.
