Hi guys,

This is something I've been struggling with for a long time now.
I want to play a chord on my keyboard and let it sustain so I can grab my guitar and try some licks over it. I don't have a sustain pedal so will have to depend on a plugin or DAW feature. I'm using Logic & Omnisphere.
Any ideas how to achieve this?

Thx in advance

Update: Alright, for now I've modded my far most rotary knob on my keyboard to sustain. The note sustains from 65 and up and cuts below 65. I've used a transformer object in Logic's Environment. I'm going to look into using a button on my keyboard to switch on/off though but I doubt the midi messages from those buttons will be read properly.

Try tweaking the ADSR filter on something.

Can you divide your keyboard into zones, and set the zone where the chord will be played to latch? There's probably also MIDI plugin(s) to do this, but I don't know of them. What keyboard do you have?

What am I missing here? You have logic, right? Insert Omnisphere as a VSTi, record a MIDI track with your chord, loop the track.... You an even enter the chord with your mouse and drag the notes out as far as you want in the MIDI editor.

Am I nuts, or is that not what you want to do?
