MIDI articulations

[Alexander Lazarev]

Hi!

I can’t find the way to configure articulation of instrument via midi notes, that I had in many Kontakt or Ample instruments, e.g.: C-1 for ghost note, C#-1 for slap etc. There is only information about Modulation (CC1), Sustain(CC64), Damping (Cc67), but not about ghost notes. Also I don’t sure that I can bind CC to it it coz it’s not a parameter.

Can anyone help with it?

Theliraan, there are a number of articulations that use key switches, I suspect that will be what you are looking for (EZBass Help > EZBASS KEY SWITCH LAYOUT).

KEY SWITCHES.
A-1 Polyphony (hold). Disable legato.
A♯-1 Harmonic (hold). Play harmonics.
B-1 Slap/Pop (hold). Play slap sounds if available.
C0 Not used.
C♯0 Middle Finger/Down Stroke. Play only middle finger/down stroke (no alteration).
D0 Repeater (press). Repeat the last played note.
D♯0 Loud Mute (press). Repeat the last played note as a percussive mute.
E0 Ghost Note (press). Repeat the last played note as a ghost note.
F0 Slide Down (press). Slide currently playing note down.
F♯0 Slide (press and hold). Slide currently playing note to the next note played.
G0 Slide Up (press). Slide currently playing note up.
G♯0 Legato (hold). Enable legato.

It’s in the “Help” menu drop down in EZBass.

I have tried creating an expression map in Cubase with these articulations but it doesn’t seem to work.

Thank you for this! I found that some work and some don’t. Those in the C-1 octave range do, those in the C-0 octave range not working. I’m in Logic and EZ Bass latest version.

I’d also love to know where this was found? Hopefully will be in the manual soon if not already?

Also I’ve been wondering if Damping can be controlled from the host pain roll… cc data perhaps?

Modulation (CC 1) This envelope controls vibrato. This is the message typically sent from the modulation wheel on a MIDI keyboard.

Sustain (CC 64) Used to let notes ring. This is an on/off switch and is typically the first pedal input on a MIDI keyboard. 0-63 means off and 64-127 means that the pedal is held down.

Soft/Damping (CC 67) On a regular keyboard this control is an on/off switch applying a fixed effect on notes played when it is held. While EZbass works with such a pedal, it listens to the full range, not just on or off. Using an expression pedal or assigning CC 67 to a fader or dial allows you to apply damping better to your liking.

Great! Damping CC 67! I looked in the online manual (imagine that!) and there are the CCs listed. Found the key switch layout in the Help menu. Looks like not all articulations Percussive right/left hand, tapping) are not listed. Would be great to have all articulations available as key switches.
