Some of the midi files I've bought have nice swells in the sustained brass section notes.
I can't seemed to get that effect in the midi files or tracks that I make. In looking at the bought files in events editor I see controller 11 is doing the swells. I've tried going to piano roll edit and selecting controller 11 then using the graphic function to draw in the "swell". It shows up in the graphic window but does not show up in the sound when played back.
Next I plugged my expression pedal onto the midi controller keyboard (yamaha tyros2) and tried to achieve the effect in real time. But that didn't do it either. Actually, I have the same issue when I'm trying to increase or decrease the volume of a long sounding note or chord. Any help?
Thanks,
