This is great news. Thank you.

AutoLegato: Greg Smith wrote to me with this request: "We GPO users need a midi plug that can detect that we're playing overlapped notes on our keyboard and can set the sustain pedal to 127 whenever we are." I'd been planning something like this for a while, so this was finally the kick in the pants I needed to make it happen! Version 1.1 adds legato capability for wind controllers such as the Yamaha WX5 that don't have a strict note overlap on a trill (thanks to Jeff Lee).
 
Note Rotator: Do you want to have your sequencer select a note in order or random when playing a target note? Do you want to fake up a round-robin or alternation scenario on a sound module or sampler that has no such feature? Then TenCrazy.com MFX Note Rotator is for you!

 
Velocity to CC: There is an outboard utility included with Garritan Personal Orchestra called "GPO Standard MIDI File Translator". Essentially, it translates the traditional volume control for notes, namely note velocity, and substitutes it with CC#1 messages, as GPO uses the Mod Wheel (for most instruments) to control volume contour. MFX Velocity to CC does the same sort of thing, but as an in-host plugin (including real-time play!). Also, you could map other controllers (like Var1 and Var2 in the GPO player) to certain velocity ranges for other expression techniques you may dream up. Also works in any other synths you might find a use for!

 
Velocity Releaser: Though SONAR doesn't record Release Velocity information, it does pass it along through its event chain. As such, we're able to generate it artificially by tracking a Continuous Controller. Note, however, that I don't have a synth that appropriately responds to release velocity, so I'm not sure if this actually works under SONAR! Maybe it does in Cubase...

Dynamic Hat
Once upon a time, Dave Schreier said, "I purchased an Alesis ControlPad USB/Midi Percussion Controller, and am a bit surprised (and disappointed) that the hi-hat footswitch input does not switch a pad's note output between alternate notes when the switch is opened and closed..." And having bought two ControlPads recently, I wholeheartedly agreed! So here's an MFX helper to do the translation.
 
Control Cascade
Aftertouch vs Mod Wheel for volume control in GPO: which is better? Bill Pearson (billp) proposed on the GPO forum, "Sounds to me like the solution is to have aftertouch generate incremental MOD values, but never to cause the MOD level to drop below the value set by the MOD wheel itself." MFX Control Cascade allows you to have one CC (or channel pressure/aftertouch) modify another: upwards, downwards, or relative to a detente value.
 
AutoAlternator
AutoAlternator allows you to do automatic bow-direction alternations in the ALT patches of Garritan Orchestral Strings. Of course, it can also be applied to other systems: for example, you can alternate left and right-hand hits on the Timpani patch in Garritan Personal Orchestra. Anything with two sets of alternate samples mapped across the keyboard is game. But wait: there's more!I've added a feature that will allow you to alternate sound instances across two separate MIDI channels. As such, you can create hand-tweaked sample sets by loading in two of the same patch and altering the pitch and timbre parameters of only one of them.
 
Tweak by Duration
In GPO, the VAR 1 knob (cc#22) will introduce random tuning variations from note to note. Typically, one makes these adjustments for fast passages, where players don't have time to adjust tuning by ear. So I figured, why not create something to do this automatically? It also works with other synths and just about any other CC data.
