I'd be very interested if anyone has tips for using the Pitch Bend Wheel to do guitar note bends using Pitch Bend (or another MIDI CC) on a MIDI keyboard. I've spent a fair amount of time trying to tweak the settings on the controller, but no matter what I try, the sound bends in a very awkward manner, more like a saw bend sound than a guitar string bend.

I'm figuring there are two main possibilities: (1) I'm doing it wrong (most likely) or (2) The Mod Wheel on my MIDI keyboard is crummy. The model is a M-Audio Code 49, with the latest firmware.

Any brief tips or advice would be most appreciated.

[Edit /]
Found a review that said the mod-wheel has issues on this model. Would an expression pedal work for controlling pitch bend?
