Someone's obviously taken Beecham's advice to heart: 'Never look encouragingly at the brass!'

Controller #7: Volume. Now why didn't I look there before? Again, thanks! Seems to work fairly well, except I still can't get the trumpet loud enough. Quadruple doubling at "ffff" still doesn't cut it! It looks like they over-adjusted the brass on the soft side. Never thought I'd complain about that. Heh.
