Hi:
I am guitar player in need of some help with a midi problem. I want to be able hold a midi note or chord played by my guitar and then play my guitar over the held note or chord either using an audio signal or another midi instrument.
How do I accomplish this task?
Regards,
Handyman
midi help?
Hello and welcome Handyman,
2 situations here,
-the Midi chord is the simplest if you have a Midi pedalboard, this way you send a Midi chord with no note off and create a continuous sound with a Midi Sampler or an instrument plug in.
-About your own audio signal, you want a chord in loop mode or a kind of freezed sound?

Is there vst available that would allow me to sustain notes on one channel and switch to another channel using the IK multimedia Stealth Pedal?
Sorry but you need to be more precise,
again,when you say sustain notes on one channel are you talking about audio or MIDI signal ?
About controlling this by this model of pedal, if this one is recognized in Usine setup/Midi tab, yes.
You can activate the trace MIDI in in this tab, open the trace panel and check what kind of message it send.

Many VSTis support hold pedals - required to support piano. I'm pretty sure SampleTank supports this.
I see 3 possible solutions:
(1) I would first attempt using the standard CCs for these functions, to see if your VSTi supports it natively. Check out CCs 64-69 in the MIDI spec:
https://www.midi.org/specifications/ite ... ta-bytes-2
If your VSTi doesn't support a hold function via one of the CCs listed, the easiest thing to do would be to find one that does.
(2) The FTP pickup (best MIDI guitar solution out there, IMO) supports hold functions.
(3) If you love your VSTi, you could possibly write a hold function in Usine. Filter out 'NOTE OFF' messages, and either keep track of them & send them later, or send an 'all notes off' message when desired. That will take some development & experimentation (& patience).
Finally, if you are a MIDI guitarist (like me), lots of such questions are discussed over at vguitarforums.com. Some example threads:

Address the process rather than the outcome. Then, the outcome becomes more likely. - Fripp
Normally, CC64 = Hold, and CC66 = the more complex Sostenuto (only the notes held when the pedal is depressed are held).
Most synths & VSTis support Hold. Very few support Sostenuto, which is less muddy & probably preferred.

I think a true Sostenuto add-on for HH would be an excellent idea...

easiest way to accomplis this - connect to yoour midi device the midi filter module. in the combobox select "note on" so the note off event never arrives to your synth. then just have prepared "send all notes off" module to kill your "held" notes
OK.... So I wrote a fastscript that properly supports sostenuto and sustain...

To access the script, refresh your add-ons within HH2, and drop SostenutoSustain.fastscript into your patch.
