Hello my fellow composers,
as I am currently trying to cultivate my composing skills, I have come to the point where I want to gain control of the dynamics of the strings.
Right now the way I do this is by volume control, so if I want to write a sustained note, going from piano to forte, I would normally write a high velocity note with a gradual rise of the volume.
However, the samples I use have at least 3 layers of velocity and I was wondering if there is a better way to do this by crossfading the different velocity samples as well as controlling the volume.
Then I could assign this to the mod wheel (or maybe aftertouch) and use the velocity function of the keyboard for other purposes (for example changing to staccatto).
But what if we could control this directly from the keys? By determining the travel value of the pressed key, we could emulate a soft dynamic with a shallow press and a hard one with a deep. Does such functionality exist in any midi keyboard?
