Synapse Audio Minimoog emulation "The Legend" for VST/AU and RE released!

[Teksonik]

The new Mod Options:

Legend 012618.png

I haven't tried Sustain Pedal in the latest of The Legend. Next time I boot the studio I'll give it a go.....

[EvilDragon]

It doesn't work even in v1.2.

[Teksonik]

I just tried it and you're right. Even Midi Learn the Sustain Pedal doesn't work. I'll pass it along.


EDIT: I just tried in FL Studio and Sustain Pedal does work. I had tried in Reaper before. Let me work on it some more......

Ok so I tried in Sonar X3, Bitwig 8 Track and Orion and the sustain pedal does not work in them either. Odd that it does work in FL Studio since it struggles with midi controls. I don't believe I have a Generic Controller set up for Sustain in FL Studio. MW and AT yes but not Sustain if I remember correctly. Anyway I've passed it along to Synapse.

Thanks for the replies about the CC64.
It is important for me, because sometimes i will just want to hit a key once for a low evolving bass drone while tweaking the knobs.

There are workarounds, but any synth that does respond to MIDI should also support the sustain pedal.

FL Studio doesn't really use CC64 for sustain pedal, instead it artificially increases the note lengths.

Wow, so FL handles CC64 internally.

That would explain it then. Like I said FL Studio struggles with Midi controls. It's the only DAW I've ever used where I had to manually set up Mod Wheel and Aftertouch.

[EvilDragon]

Yep FL can be very weird with very standard stuff.

There is no sustain pedal assigned at all in any Legend versions.. it is simply not there.

When I do press my sustain Pedal. Legend midi in indicator does light up but nothing happens

[Chris-S]

it is simply not there.

Like in the original hardware synth.

In case someone uses Logic and wants to use a sustain pedal with The Legend (or any other instrument that doesn't support it for some reason), just copy&paste this code into the Scripter MIDI FX. It will convert standard hold/sustain pedal messages to delayed note offs. (It's pretty quick'n'dirty, and theoretically you could "overload" it if you hold the pedal and play, say, a few million notes, but it should get the job done in most real life situations. Probably there's a more sophisticated script available, but couldn't find one with a quick search.)

Code: Select all

var hold = false;
var noteOffs = [];
function HandleMIDI(event) {
	if ( event instanceof ControlChange && event.number == 64 ) {
		if ( event.value == 127 ) {
			hold = true;
		} else {
			hold = false;
			sendNoteOffs();
		}
	} else {
		if ( event instanceof NoteOff && hold ) {
			noteOffs.push( event );		
		} else {
			event.send();
		}
	}
}
function sendNoteOffs() {
	for ( var no of noteOffs ) {
		no.send();
	}
	noteOffs = [];
}

Like in the original hardware synth.

The original hardware synth also doesn't have 4 voice polyphony, ADSR envelopes, delay and reverb effects, and additional modulation matrix and MPE compatibility. Lame argument

Thanks, was already searching for a Reaper JS script, but couldn't find one.
PizMIDI has a sostenuto plugin which does a similar thing, but no sustain plugin.

I haven't used Reaper, but assuming its JS MIDI handling works similarly to Logic, the script should/could work with minor modifications.

Or just ask Richard to do a hotfix just for pedal sustain support
