Hari,
Pitch Bend is not precise enough for the purpose, and I think it also affects all notes at once. But the Mac is unique in allowing individual notes to be adjusted by fractions - really a wonderful feature.
The MIDI Standard includes a similar capability but I've never found a device that supports it, and it's hardly documented.

I'm not entirely up to speed with the AU sampler, but can you send the nearest whole note immediately followed by a pitch bend?

As the world seems to be moving away from desktop software, it would be really valuable to have this capability on the pads. For educational purposes, for expressive purposes in music production - anyone listening there at Apple?

With every new release of IOS I keep checking and hoping that quarter-tones and other fractional pitches will be possible, but it doesn't seem to be high on their priority list.
