The default Pitch Bend range on the majority of Midi Synths is +/- two semitones. In those synths that use the standard Midi coding, this range can be expanded by entering the following codes into the Event List for the appropriate track.

101 value Zero
100 value Zero
6 Value 2.........the 2 stands for +/- 2 semitones - Maximum is +/- 24 semitones.
101 Value 127
100 Value 127

Pitch Bend is divided into +/- 0 to 8191 sections - thus in default mode each semitone equals 4096. Changing the Range to +/- 24 would make 4096 equal an octave. In the Piano Roll start from the zero center position and draw a line to the point 4096 where you want the effect to end. You will need to experiment because sometimes you can get weird effects. This method can also be used to try and emulate a musician playing a succession of notes without triggering repeated attacks.
