Hi Gord, Thanks for the info. I don't have a Telly; in fact, I don't have any guitars, just soft sinths, a Roland Fantom X-6, and a Roland RD-700 G. There's a steel patch in the TTS-1 that I modified a bit and created a preset, and that's what I'm using now. It's not bad, but I wanted to create a better one for the Dimension Pro. I see that there's one that was made for the Kontakt player, but that's obviously not accessible to us. I was hoping that there were individual sound samples that I could develop into a program, but I haven't found anything yet. There are loops of steel guitar playing, but I want to do my own thing when it comes to creating the music. Guess I'll have to sit in front of search engines until I find something, or I'll have to locate somebody who's got a Telly, lap steel, or a pedal steel and create sound files.

Usually I take a telly, put it through a good smooth compressor, adjust the pitch bend to make it wide enough, and assign the footc controller cc4 to the volume of the audio for the sfz track. This works quite well for me. I use cc4 on the audio track so that I can control the overall level while keeping the level going into the compressor constant. Gord
