Wow, this just gets better! ..and you even mention than on your website. Well, thanks for explaining. FWIW. It took me 5 mins to figure out how to do that with seq24. for reference: /sustain/ corresponds to the [0xB0] Control Change - 64 Hold Pedal (on/off) Event message. However, the sustain value is not dynamic. I can choose the "openness" of the hi-hat on attack, but changing the value after it has been hit does not make a difference. But no problem. I managed to get the desired effect by choosing a suitable sustain (here: 50) for open-hi-hathit and zero sustain for the follow-up closed (8th notes @ 120bpm, volume 86, 102 respectively). Cool. May I ask what sequencer you've used to create the "IT NEEDS MORE COWBELL!" / test13 demo on your website? It's very well done. ciao, robin _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
