Hi Steve,
Thanks for the info. I'm going to have to study up on what mapping they've done
so that I'll know what I'm messing with. Not sure why they didn't use standard
control change assignments; but for me, as long as I know what's up with it,
it's not a big deal.
Take care.
Mike

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
