Re: help for midi instruments

[Guy Stalnaker]

Curious question if I may. Respondents in this thread suggest something is possible I thought was not possible. Is it true that putting on a whole note crescendo or decrescendo dynamics

c1\> ... \p

creates midi output with increasing or decreasing loudness for the duration of that note?

It was my understanding that the midi specification cannot do this. From: http://www.gweep.net/~prefect/eng/reference/protocol/midispec.html

Here are the possible values for the high nibble, and what type of Voice Category message each represents:

8 = Note Off

9 = Note On

A = AfterTouch (ie, key pressure) #i.d., attack loudness

B = Control Change

C = Program (patch) change

D = Channel Pressure

E = Pitch Wheel

Did recent versions of LP add some behind-the-scenes magic to simulate increasing and decreasing loudness for held notes (as, I believe, midi sequencers do)?

Or am I misremembering everything about how LP does midi (which is entirely possible LOL)?

Thanks,

Guy S

What's the incantation equivalent to Knute's template?
