MPC Live Pitchbend / Internal MIDI Routing

Dear MPC forum members,

I've been a longtime MPC user and have just bought an MPC Live, which is bringing me back to this fine community after many years of absence. Greetings to all old-time as well as new MPC-Users I really love the machine, but there are some minor things I'm struggling with:

1) Can you somehow control the pitchbend parameter from the MPC itself by using the Q-Links in Momentary Mode? In drum programs, I can control the fine tuning via pad parameters with a Q-Link in momentary mode and emulate a pitchbend this way. Unfortunately, in keygroup and plug-in programs it doesn't seem to work that way. They react to pitchbending from an external keyboard as expected, but I seem only to be able to control their tuning from the MPC itself in semitones and fine tuning in cents, which is less than ideal. Any workaround here?

2) Is there any way to route MIDI to an audio unit that can be controlled via MIDI? e.g. iZotope Vocal Synth / Stutter Edit, Sugar Bytes Effectrix ... those kind of effects.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Best,
Michael

I can answer number2 you need something like blue cats patch works or something similar as of now
