When programming MIDI in your sequencer, is there an available (or assignable) note to trigger the Sustain Pedal on and off? If not, how would you go about programming that in?
Thank you. I’m not that familiar with Control Change numbers and all that. Thru most DAW MIDI sequencers, should I be able to send this control number by way of manual programming (rather than using a physical controller of some sort)?
Yes, you should be able to manually ‘draw’ in the pedal data (similar to adjust the ‘velocity’ of a drum hit in S2/EZD). Drag and drop some EZkeys MIDI into your host of choice, open it in your MIDI editor and see how the CC64 data is drawn and replicate it. Usually, there are 2 triggers: One presses the pedal ‘down’ (sustains) and the 2nd ‘releases’ the pedal so it is in the ‘up’ position (not sustaining). They are both triggered in the same CC64 data stream (kinda like on/off).
Thanks for clarifying. I think I know how that’s done in Studio One. In fact, Studio One shows the controller data in the Arranger when you drag MIDI in from EZkeys. I’m pretty sure that’s the pedal on/off data. I’ll just take a look at one of the grooves in my MIDI editor and that should tell me how to do it.
I posted this earlier in the day under Pre-Sales, but I obviously bought it. This is a pretty darned good tool. I have barely scratched the surface, but using a little creativity you can really make some cool stuff happen. Layering the Dream Pad over the Studio Grand Piano that comes with Studio One is pretty, well, dreamy… (though Presence in Studio One is quite the CPU hog, not so with EZkeys, I can’t believe how easy on the CPU this thing is).
