[fluid-dev] MIDI piano + sustain pedal realism

Hi everyone, I'm new to the world of MIDI, although I've used Linux for a really long time. Anything that I do with a computer I pretty much require that it works with Linux or else I'm not interested. I've played piano most of my life and I've recently been looking into a fairly realistic and

Re: [fluid-dev] Continuous controllers

I already responded to your question to the group on this matter. Did you not see it? There is no default modulator in the SoundFont spec for CC #2 (breath controller), so support must be added to the SoundFont preset itself using a modulator (CC#2 to attenuation, 96 dB using concave negative u
