Howdy Fred,

Vibrato Control: There are 2 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 after touch function but can assign cc131 to a programmable slider which, in turn, will send data out to your computer."

This description is for those who are playing the instrument "live" (which is one reason they use the Mod wheel for dynamics - it's their idea of "easy to control dynamics" while playing a keyboard, but I digress...) that they can use the assignable slider.

You can do this in Composer, just like you've previously done the Mod wheel (which is cc 1). At least you can currently graph the "17 general purpose" one, which will control the speed of the vibrato. Mark has been planning to add support for all controllers, and this is probably impetus enough to bump up that feature addition.

Go to the "GraphOverNotes" tab, and click the "CTL with ?" button, then select the number 17 controller (currently listed as general purpose) and then draw your curve. You can do this for any controller that you need to. You'll need to be sure that the controller for "Aftertouch" is set to cc131 in your Garritan Studio, as well, so that the two apps are not "talking" at cross purposes.

Well, controller 131 is currently not available in Composer, so you would have a speedy non-vibrato

I bet Mark could be persuaded to include it in an update patch soon if at all possible

ttfn,
Sherry
