Using Velocity Keyboard with _slide to pitch bend_ enabled, MIDI sent to Scaler 2, but I just get the note and no pitch bend. Tried with a couple of different Scaler2 synth voices. Is there something more I need to do? The bend works in other synths.

Scaler’s internal sounds won’t respond to pitch bend but Scaler will pass on pitch to external instruments no problem. Scaler’s internal sounds will be much more flexible in next major update. Hope that helps.
