Is there a way to assign pitch bending to a knob or Slider?

Is there a way to assign pitch bending to the modulation wheel so the pitch stays put instead of springing back to center?

Is there a way to change the pitch of a stage setting or zone a knob or slider?

using the modulation wheel would be cool also - it would be a bend wheel that stays in place instead of springing back to position.

It would  be a sort of external transposer.
