50 in mind if you want to return to normal pitch (You can modify this of course with the min / max values within the automation clip too, but that's outside the scope of this and a bit more advanced) It's important to know that 50% of the knob is no pitch change at all, since the pitch wheel is bipolar, always have 50% /. But dang my OCD.A kind of weird trick you can do with pitch automation that's a bit messy but definitely works, set the range of the pitch knob to 48, this will give you 4 octaves to work with, you can reduce it by intervals of 12 (so 12, 24, 48, etc) if you want to reduce the range, but 48 will give you the most flexibility, then right click the pitch knob and create automation clip (Alternatively, I could just ignore the +/- 500 and chalk it up to adding a bit of "color" or intonation, since in most cases that works out to about ~12 cents. Wondering if there's any hacks short of taking the entire beast apart to adjust the spring/tension or replacing the entire wheel? I realize as I'm typing this, since I switched from my lovely Kurzweil about 20 years ago, my last three controllers have been Yamahas (because I love the touch), so maybe it's a Yamaha wheel thing? Currently using a Motif XF8 as main controller.

Doesn't seem to be connected to bumping the keyboard or playing hard velocities. But this time I've been wiggling it all over the place and even tried a few waggles, not helping. In the past when this happens I can usually scientifically fix it by giving the wheel a good "wiggle" which tends to reset it to zero. Like it's not snapping back to zero entirely. Nothing significant, not like pitch bend an entire half step, but maybe +/- 500 (on a scale of -8,192 to +8,191). What happens is the pitch bend wheel gets a bit "loosey goosey" and will transmit random midi pitch bend data while I'm recording midi notes. I'm asking this here because it's happened to me with multiple controllers in the past, figured it might be somewhat common. Anyone have any tricks or suggestions for this?
