Hi, I play a series of notes, but I’d like to create a bending effect only for a particular note. Is this possible?

Hi @catapult and welcome to our community,

to bend notes, you need to control them once they have been triggered. The concept of controlling is achieved via the `control` function and is discussed in Section 7 of the tutorial. For specific information about controlling notes, see section 7.3:
