Both are correct -- there are standard numbers for certain things that are in common use. Sustain pedal is designated as number 64, for example. That said, any manufacturer is not required to use these numbers in their products if they don't want to.
Here are the ones I know off the top of my head. Note that 0-63 are usually for continuous controllers while 64-127 are switches. Also, some of the last few numbers have other uses for things like changing the MIDI response mode, sending a tune request, and turning Local off. 0. Bank Select 1. Modulation Wheel 2. Breath Controller 5. Portamento value 7. Volume 10. Pan 64. Sustain pedal 65. Sostenuto pedal I'd welcome any other ones anyone can remember, as I'd like to compile a list of the common ones. I know I'm missing things like Expression pedal, Reverb switch, Portamento switch, and the registered parameter controls. I've also forgotten the controller used by Ensoniq to switch to different sub-patches using their two buttons. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Brian Williams Sent: Saturday, November 05, 2011 11:49 AM To: QWS list Subject: QWS List adding sustain Hi all still getting to grips with QWS. amazed. can someone explain how i can add sustain to a bar i have already recorded. I assume it's something to do with controllers. Is there a list of what controllers do what or does it depend on the instrument? would be grateful for any advice. many thanks in hope, brian To unsubscribe or change list options, see http://lists.andrelouis.com for archived list posts, see http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] To unsubscribe or change list options, see http://lists.andrelouis.com for archived list posts, see http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]
