You would first think
.easypar PB <value> #pitch bend
but...
"Note: the general MIDI Pitch Bend format is $Ec ValueLSB ValueMSB, so the fact that the BC always
sends $00 for ValueLSB means that it doesn't support 14-bit values: this is a bit strange, since the BC
does support 14-bit values for several other message types." Mark van den Berg
That is easypar will only give you pitch bend coarse settings
You need to use .tx to be able to get to the 14bit number
The range -8192 to 8192 is a bit tricky as the BC units don't work with negative numbers
I'm not sure AA would really use signed integers.
The range of Pitch bend is usually defined as 0 to 16383 with the center (no pich shift) = $2000 or 8192
The MIDI message is
$E0 fine_data coarse_data
Perhaps this might work for encoder 49 (bottom left) on MIDI channel 1
(Sorry, you can't program this from the front panel of the BCR. You'll need to use my editor )
.encoder 49
.showvalue on
.mode 1dot
.resolution 2000 4000 8000 16000
.minmax 0 16383
.default 0
.tx $E0 val0.6 val7.13
You can fiddle with the .resolution 2000 4000 8000 16000 to adjust the 'feel'
The first number is "what is the value increased by if I move the encoder 1 turn very slowly"
The 16000 means you should go through the range in one quick turn
As you can see there are four rotation speeds
You might like to use MidiOx to see what is happening

Hope this helps. Let me know how you get on.
