The specs don't say much about how to interpret the value actually https://www.midi.org/specifications/item/table-1-summary-of-midi-message
"Pitch Bend Change. status: 1110nnnn data: 0lllllll 0mmmmmmm
This message is sent to indicate a change in the pitch bender (wheel or lever, typically). The pitch bender is measured by a fourteen bit value. Center (no pitch change) is 2000H. Sensitivity is a function of the transmitter. (llllll) are the least significant 7 bits. (mmmmmm) are the most significant 7 bits."

Is this a [bendin] or a [bendout] bug?
[bendin]'s current implementation is closer to the actual MIDI messages being transmitted.
but in actuality, the not raw standard is from -8192 to 8191 right?
I just care they both are the same, but it seems to me that -8192 to 8191 is the sensible choice
cheers
