Not all instruments want to support pitch bending like that, I suspect.
Why should this be a first-order event as opposed to just another example
of how flexible GMPI is.
We can standardize the PITCH control so that all instruments can act
similarly, but we don't need to make it anything more than a (completely
optional) parameter.
