Yes, very possible. You can do it with either the Volume Controller( CC7) or Expression if your sound source responds to it. (A large number of them don't use this -- I think it's either CC11 or CC13, so check a chart to verify) Decide how much you want to increase the sound, then go into the controller editor and input the values -- 0 is silent (niente in musical terms, written as N) while 127 is as loud as you can get. (Fortisissimo in musical term, written fff) I'd suggest putting this on a separate track so if it's not delete it or edit it and start over. This is of course a lot easier with a keyboard, as the wheels and pitch bender make it a lot more simple. For example, a Sforzando piano crescendo, where it starts loud then drops to quiet and increases back to full volume again, is a very idiomatic sound for brass. Set up your pitch bend for expression on upward motion, then push it all the way up and start the track on record. When you hit the place where you want the effect, let go, and the spring load on the bender will drop it down to your lowest value. (Don't set this to zero) Then bring it back up to maximum again over the rest of the held note to get the accurate effect. I haven't tried it, but I suspect if you set the lowest controller value fairly high this would also let you get the "bell tone" effect for brass too. to your liking you can

Hello list, I was just curious to know if there was a way to change the volume of one note as the note is playing, like for every tick, the note increases. Let us take a whole note. I want the whole note to increase with four ticks until the note stops. Is this possible to do without a MIDI keyboard, or must one have such a device for this to work? I would like to know how that is possible. If anyone has some information concerning this, I would be glad to hear it.
