A MIDI effect plug-in that locks the pitch bend wheel of any standard MIDI keyboard to a scale and adds polyphonic pitch bending, micro-tuning and MPE.

You choose a root note and scale, and the pitch bend wheel always takes you to a note of that scale, so your bends no longer land on wrong notes, whether on stage or in the studio. A MIDI-to-MPE engine turns your existing keyboard into an MPE device: whole chords can be bent polyphonically, and MPE synths become playable without MPE hardware. Micro-tuning lets you retune individual keys and play Arabic maqams or Indian ragas in a single click, with no new keyboard and no long learning curve.
