Continuous Messages

Pitchbend, aftertouch, and controllers, such as modulation wheel, sustain pedal, volume, etc. are considered MIDI continuous events, as opposed to the momentary key down and key up messages.

You can record continuous messages together or independently from the notes, that is, afterwards or before.

You can record continuous messages on their own tracks, separately from the notes to which they belong. As long as you set the two tracks to the same output and MIDI channel, it will appear to the MIDI instrument as if you made the two recordings at the same time.
