Hi Mike,
One thing to watch out for with Garritan is, most midi instruments have CC1
(Control change 1) for modulation. Garritan foolishly decided that CC1 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 CC1 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

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.

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.
