Most early synths with a mod wheel were in the +/- 2 range by default (although in most you could change that!), so I would guess it's a leftover from that. That range was used maybe because when live playing, say emulating guitar bends, saxophone/clarinet bends and also flutes, that was a pretty good range, and with that being full range you got a better/subtle touch. All supposition, of course!

You have to bend stuff a lot anyway - e.g. A selmer sax C is known to be a little flat, so players will lip it up a bit (bend) - but that of course depends on how good their ear is in the first place. You can't really play jazz stuff without bends - more impressive on flute!!!

Looking forward to seeing your entry pop in!

Cheers,

True, it is probably the best range for playing live... but this is a VST; really what percentage of users would be playing live vs sequencing? :?

Probably those of us who like to play big solos :hihi: But yeah (man), it should be configurable.

Hello and welcome to the OSC. You'll find many nice and helpful people here with lots of good advice on sounds, soundstages, mixing, mastering etc etc. I know I did when I joined in a few months ago.

Hello and to you! It is pleasant to know that here will always help but as I practically don't speak English, and I use services of an online translator, it doesn't make sense to me to ask for help here.
P.S. Hi from Russia)
