it all comes down to how many steps of midi you have on your fader… standard 7bit midi has 128 steps so with a little math you can figure out the pitch resolution… at 6% pitch range for a 100bpm track you have a resolution of 0.009375bpm, how you work it out is at 6% pitch range you actually use double that in the range because its 6% + 6% = 12% then divide by the amount of midi steps on the fader 128…. The last variable you need to account for is the actual bpm of the track, that is the result for 100bpm if you want say 128 bpm you times it by 128% or 1.28 in decimal
12 / 128 = 0.09375 = 0.009375bpm resolution @ 100bpm
I’m not very good at maths so not sure why but you have to move the decimal over to get the result… lol
12 / 128 x 1.28 = 0.12 = 0.012bpm resolution @ 128bpm
14 bit midi sends double the messages as 7bit so instead of 128 messages it sends 256 that means you get the same resolution at double the pitch range
24 / 256 x 1.28 = 0.12 = 0.012bpm resolution @ 128bpm
If i were you I would wait for the reloop terminal series to be released and see how they feel to use as they are made of metal and have 100mm long pitch faders…
btw I could be wrong about the formula… as i said im not great at maths, hope it helps you to understand how it works though 😉
