What is pitchbend for, besides having fun?

Man, It is way too fun. (I've already been using it to leave jacked up messages on people's voice mail)

Seriously though, it gives me an idea.

Wouldn't it be cool if they used the pitchbend functionality for seeking?

Just hold down the button, and it starts to slowly speed up and up...

And it should be trivial to make it play backwards too.

That would be sooooo much more usable then the "eep! brap! click! tprang! pop!" method that we have now...
