Single notes they get retuned as expected, but notes in chords shift about in pitch. What can I do?
This probably means that your synth is receiving notes on all channels at once – but treats them as if they were all one channel as far as pitch bends are concerned. This is normal with mono-timbral synths – any synth that can only play a single instrument at a time on a single channel. In the normal way of implementing pitch bends, each channel can only have one pitch bend (NB there is an alternative recognised interpretation in the Midi spec that allows several simultaneous pitch bends in the same channel with the downside that it is impossible for notes to have their pitch changed after the note starts – it is implemented in the CSound instruments section of FTS itself but I don’t know of any other implementation). On this type of synth, FTS is sending the information needed to bend the pitches of all the individual notes correctly, but only one of those bends can be done at a time. Each bend sent therefore affects all the notes in play at the time. For instance if you play C then E
