Personally I would pick a sound source prior to adding CC’s to it as different sources MAY act differently. If both are true GM than all should be the same, as Notes has indicated. It’s when you get into the specific not GM sound sources like Garritan J&BB, B4II and etc or when you change certain parameters such as pitch bend range that CC responses can get changed.



I don't think I can with sfz. Since its output goes through the DXi/VST system the midi instructions don't go to the controller. If they did I'd see the Ketron flashing and have dual sounds.

It’s been a long time since I’ve used SFZ but if I remember correctly it should respond to the standard CC’s ok. If you haven’t Dled the pro version SFZ+ from Cakewalk then do it. It is now free and it’s a better SF2 handling player.



Good to know. I'll look into sfz+ as well.

One last thing, my bet is that you would be better sounding instruments through the SD2 than you will get from SF2s.



I agree for most voices. It's mainly the guitars I don't like. They sound no better than the VSC DXi to me. I bought the collection of Jenssen guitars online and they sound much more realistic to me. The Jenssen demos sound even better since there's a little dynamics added so that's what I'm trying to emulate.

If you have problems with your controller feel free to ask for help. I noticed that the manual is on line so we could DL it if need be.


Thanks again for all your help.
