Most of the wheels and knobs on a synthesizer generate control change messages, but one gets a status message of its own. This is the Pitch Bender. A dedicated message makes it possible to efficiently send a bend value of 14 bits. If you try to do pitch bend with only seven bits of precision, you either have to restrict the range or you get audible steps. Unfortunately, no manufacturer takes advantage of this.
