The Artiprog (I think we're talking about this:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://artiphon.com/">https://artiphon.com/</a>) is one amazing controller. Six stacked
octaves [for a keyboardist] with velocity and aftertouch for $400?
Dear God, what hath thou wrought :-) I do hope they do an
eight-octave version, I would miss the extreme octaves, but still,
wow.<br>

It does appear that Fluidsynth knows about pitch bend:<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/FluidSynth/fluidsynth/issues/154">https://github.com/FluidSynth/fluidsynth/issues/154</a><br>
<br>
but given that you're not hearing it happen, there may indeed be
different question-beasts involved, both soundfonts' responses
and/or fluidsynth options. I have done a bit of editing and study
of some soundfonts ( <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://polyphone-soundfonts.com">http://polyphone-soundfonts.com</a> ) and did not
see pitch bend response in the GUIs, though I will be unsurprised to
be told better. <br>
<br>
It appears that Yoshimi and ZynAddSubFX, live synthesizers, both do
pitch bend:<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://sourceforge.net/p/yoshimi/feature-requests/13/">https://sourceforge.net/p/yoshimi/feature-requests/13/</a><br>
<br>
and live synth should (theoretically) be more of a slam-dunk for
pitch bending, because pitch control is not an option for the live
synth, it's an absolute base-core item...whereas soundfonts
themselves contain discrete note-chunks that would have to be
morphed by the soundfont handler to make it happen well.<br
