Any Linuxsampler engine support any MIDI CC messages?

Post by sleat » Thu Jan 13, 2011 11:35 am

Hello,

Do any of the LinuxSampler engines respond in any way to MIDI CC messages? Other samplers and SoundFont renderers will let you use midi CC messages to control things like release, or filter. Is this possible with LS? How? Just looking for some relevant documentation.

Cheers,
Joe

The gig engine is fairly complete. AFAIK sfz and sf2 are in a very early stage.

The gig engine has full support of CC messages, that is, all that is supported by the gig format. You can for example create a gig where the attack, decay or release in the different envelope generators are modulated by CC messages. The filter cutoff and resonance and the depth of the LFOs can also be modulated by CCs. The amplitude too (called attenuation controller in gigedit), and with layers you can use the attenuation controller to cross-fade between the layers. Look for combo boxes in gigedit with names ending with Controller.

The sfz engine has a very limited support of CC messages yet. The loccNN and hiccNN opcodes work, and can be used to select samples only if a controller lies within a certain range. The on_locc and on_hicc also work. They trigger a sample if a controller enters a certain range.

For the sf2 engine, I don't know.
