Hi Neville, I found the info regarding control changes for trumpet falls and kisses on the Garritan web site. It's a horrible web site to navigate or at least I found it to be tricky.

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!

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 Steve W Steve ----- Original Message ----- From: Mike Tyo To: ddots-l Sent: Sunday, August 28, 2011 4:46 AM Subject: [ddots-l] Re: To anyone using Garritan 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.

Many midi controllers are mapped to gpo parameters.
