Pitch wheel

As you move the pitch wheel up or down (on MIDI keyboards so equipped), the pitch of the entire keyboard shifts up or down by an amount you program on the MIDI keyboard itself. Finale records and plays back pitch bends (the smoothly graduated, continuous shift of pitch that occurs when you use the pitch wheel). You can also edit pitch bends that you’ve recorded, and you can even insert expressions whose playback definitions involve the use of the pitch wheel.

When you record a performance (with Record Continuous Data turned on) in HyperScribe, Finale automatically records all your pitch wheel data. You may or may not want this information retained so that you can later hear it applied to the playback of your transcription. For a full description of captured MIDI information, see Chapter 6: Playback in the Finale Tutorials.
