MIDI dyanmics

Midi uses CC7 for volume, and CC11 for expression, which someone here eloquently described as 'volume within volume' - think you want to check that out, but search the forum as well, I remember a discussion pretty recently on generic techniques to really get the best out of 'swells' in general, in audio mixdowns - forgot the thread title, though.

Think you'll find it all here, too (under RPN) - but tbh I cannot tell you how expression 'delivers', on the legato front (guess that's what you want.)

Ah found the discussion (think it's the same one), IIRC they settled on a gate with an envelope as a good alternative.

use a version of Kontakt player where you first need to go into the options and enable the use of MIDI volume control.

It's only 'on' by default in the Pro version, I take it... mwuha what a joke - and not a word in the manual, with a bit of luck

man im at a loss i cant seem to find how to add CC in sonar, i turned it on in eastwest. then i went to "new value type" in the top left drop down of the piano roll, but doesnt seem to pop it up. ever since they changed the way sonar does it now, it confuses me.
