Hello Steve or anyone else,

Where can I find info on midi control changes and how to use them? Steve you
are so right about Garraitn. I find this blunder quite frustrating 

 

May the peace  of God which passes all understanding guard your heart and
mind in Christ Jesus. God bless you!

Music soft sacred and soulful

Hi Mike,

 

One thing to watch out for with Garritan is, most midi instruments have CC0
(Control change 0) for modulation. Garritan foolishly decided that CC0 would
be volume instead.

It's a Stupid thing to do as if you have say a digital piano with no
modulation or pitch bend wheels, the chances are when you switch the piano
on, it will reset midi CC0 to value 0 equals no volume.

They should have left volume on CC7.

 

If you understand a little about control changes, I put below a little info
which will help make a couple of the trumpets sound a little more
believable.

 

Release Effects (CC#15): Trumpets in a jazz context often release notes in
unusual ways. The three most common are: "falloffs," "doits," and "kisses."
In

Jazz & Big Band these effects can be chosen with CC#15. They are switched as
follows:

 

Table with 2 columns and 4 rows

Value 0-32

Off

Value 33-64

Falloffs

Value 65-95

Doits

Value 96-127

Kisses

table end

Thanks Gord. Now that you mentioned it, I should've done that when I was
reading some of the manual; You know how it is when you wanna get things up
and running in a minimal amount of time.

Hi:

Your best bet is to study the midi implementation section of the manual.
Many midi controllers are mapped to gpo parameters.
