hi Michael,
I have the Yamaha version of the Axon invention,
and it's possible to get the pitch-bend right on that.
Can't remember if the Axon has a relevant parameter,
but by adjusting the "pitch bend range" on your sound module it's
going to be possible to make it all work fine :-)

The Yamaha thing has a "Pitch Bend Range" in the
"Guitar Setup Parameters".
The parameters are each denoted by a letter of the alphabet,
the pitch range being "G"

Setting the pitch bend here sends a message to the sound module,
so I'd hope that fooling around with that will get the result you want.
