Aftertouch Vibrato control in JAAB

Hi Sherry, Mark,

What has happened to Aftertouch. I still can not find it in Composer.

Howdy Herbert,

It's on the list for the next major release. I apologize for the delay.

p.s. If I recall correctly, I think you can define a controller number in the Garritan libraries to whatever controller you want. You could then graph or set a fixed number for that controller (using the "Ctrl+?" button) in Composer using the non-dedicated controller numbers that are available.

Worth a try? If you do, please let us know how if it works. That could be useful for other parameters and libraries as well.

ttfn,

Hi Sherry,

JAAB can use cc131 for vibrato control. cc131 is not used in Composer.

Best wishes,

Herbert

Howdy Herbert,

In reviewing this task as listed in our database, we do have support for aftertouch coming up later this year. The cc131 is a virtual controller (apparently some M-Audio specified virtual controller) that can be reassigned to another controller. I don't have the JAAB instruction manual to see how that might be accomplished within the library cc definitions, or if it's possible within that context.

ttfn,
Sherry

Hi Sherry,

Here is a short section from the JABB manual.

“Vibrato Control: There are two controllers that affect vibrato. Aftertouch controls the intensity of the vibrato from no vibrato (Aftertouch = value of “0”) to exaggerated vibrato (Aftertouch = high number value.) Because both components of the vibrato are independently controllable the user can apply vibrato in a much more flexible and realistic fashion. The speed of the vibrato is controlled using cc17. Note that some keyboards, like those from M-Audio, have no Aftertouch function but can assign cc131 to a programmable slider which, in turn, will send Aftertouch data out to your computer.”

Best wishes,

Herbert
