MIDI piano - soft pedal support in LS?
Posted: Mon Jan 25, 2021 4:56 am
Hi
I am using LS with jackd2 to play with high-quality soundfonts on a Roland FP30.
Presently I use the Salamander Grand Piano v3 sfz.
The sustain pedal (right - CC64) and sostenuto pedal (middle - CC66) are working, but not the soft one (left - CC67).
I also tried a GIG soundfont, there is no soft pedal either.
"aseqdump" shows that the codes are received.
I have read in the linuxsampler-devel mail list something about a bug related to the soft-pedal support, implying that the support depends on the sfz samples, or at least, on some instructions in the sfz script.
I am not sure I understand. So the soft pedal support must be in the sfz samples (plus the script processing the MIDI control codes)? The softening is never approximated by the program when no specific "soft" samples are available?
If it's the case, and if I want to continue to use the Salamander sfz, is there a workaround?
Some chords are harder to play pp, this narrows the dynamic range.
Thanks
Patrice
