Hi mike, I put CC0 in my last post, Annabelle correctly informed me that I 
meant CC1, although both CC0 and CC1 seem to work regarding volume when used 
with Garritan.

  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.
