Thank you for your response.
I don't expect many people to use this range, I may use it in one particular composition that requires it, but I can probably get around it somehow.
I am more concerned about the fact that the two sections of the Streichfett (String and Solo) are behaving differently in response to the pitch bend data, and that this could be an indication that the unit is faulty. If this is the case, I will gladly pack the Streichfett up in a box and send it back for a replacement. However, if others have encountered this phenomenon, and can provide a fix to it, I am happy to take advice.
Better still, if there are Waldorf engineers on this forum, it would be helpful to hear what they have to say.
I do not have a MIDI analysis tool handy, I am not using the module in a DAW environment, or linked to a computer, but rather a simple keyboard setup.
