NATIVE INSTRUMENTS ACTION STRINGS SUSTAIN SERIES

It will work with any plugin or MIDI module, regardless of the sound (but will probably work best with piano). Rather, it manipulates the MIDI data arriving into Logic to create the effect. It does not convert CC#64 to CC#66 as discussed above. This will create a true sostenuto simulation across the entire keyboard. This Environment takes the data from normal sustain pedal (CC#64) and uses it to create a sostenuto effect (as described above by myself and fader8). My studio is down for a while so I haven't actually tested this with a keyboard, but it should work. If I have time tomorrow or the next day I'll work up an Environment scheme to make this happen. Not perfect, but much easier to build and troubleshoot. An alternative approach would be to send note off commands (when the pedal is released) for all notes and not specifically for those held. Now, creating an Environment to buffer (or memorize) the suppressed note-offs is a bit tricky, especially if there's any intention of using the sustain pedal along with the sostenuto action.

Upon releasing the pedal, a series of note-off commands would have to be generated to then turn the sostenuto'd notes off. All other note messages (on and off) would be passed as long as the pedal remained depressed. I think the way to simulate sostenuto would be to suppress note-off commands for notes played and held (after which the pedal was depressed). I have yet to find a reason to program it to anything other than CC#64, though it's interesting to create patches where no CC is assigned to Hold and instead, CC#64 used to increase release time instead (works well on some string patches). Yes, 'Hold' on EXS is only for sustaining action.

Thanks for that interesting info SeГ±or 8! Now, if none of your piano sources support sostenuto, you'll have to simulate it using the method that fader8 suggested (which is one method, but a good one!) Program that to output CC#66 and you'll be in business! If you find a piano source that responds to CC#66, then I'd suggest you dispense with the Environment programming and instead, hook up another pedal to your keyboard (assuming that your keyboard offers more than one pedal input). Otherwise the sustain pedal won't function at all. If a sostenuto function is incorporated into that sound source you'll hear the effect. Now try playing your piano sound with the pedal. program the Transformer to convert CC#64 (sustain pedal) to CC#66 (sostenuto pedal).drag a cable from the output of the Transformer back where the SUM's cable was previously connected in step #3.grab that cable and drag it to the Transformer.note where the cable going from the SUM output of the 'Physical Input' object is connected.go to the Clicks and Ports layer of the Environment.

Perhaps fader8 (please?!?!?!!!?) can post something according to the following description: Unfortunately I can't post pictures of how this works because I'm currently on a computer that doesn't have Logic on it. One pretty easy way to test this out is to make one simple addition to the Environment to convert your existing sustain pedal into a sostenuto pedal. Well, some sources of piano sounds (notably, some MIDI modules, though perhaps some plugins) will respond to MIDI CC#66 which is a dedicated sostenuto pedal command! The only way to know if it works for any given piano source (MIDI module or plug) is to either read the documentation and/or try it out and see if it works. First off, you say that it's something you want but not for any specific piano. This is a great special effect that's not often used. Those notes' dampers will remain raised while all others will work normally. The sostenuto pedal works by playing notes and then pressing the pedal. That you've mentioned that makes it totally clear what you're after! Havli, you're talking about the sostenuto pedal (middle pedal of the piano).
