Sorry, I dont understand at all why you're coming up with CC1 and concerns about vibrato sound quality. I was talking about the implementation details of CC8 in fluidsynth, i.e. to use/expand the SF2 modulator functionality. I dont see any connection to what you said. However I second what Marcus said: There are a number of undefined or general purpose MIDI CCs, why are you using the well-defined CC8 for your custom background/forground voice problem?
