Hi,
i experience extreme low volume/output when playing sounds of Spitfire Brass Pack in Ableton Live 11 Suite (Long Hollow - Brass Quartett.adg)
Clicking prelisten i get a pretty loud sound, but when hitting (hard)
keys on my Midikeyboard, the volume is very low compared to the prelisten volume or to other Ableton sounds.
Further more, the brass sounds doesn't respond to velocity by default. I am not able to control the volume of Spitfire Brass Pack.
Spitfire Support wrote: Long techniques don't respond to key velocity, and are instead controlled through the expression and dynamics faders, CC1 and CC11.
Unfortunately i couldn't manage to control the volume with CC1 or CC11 with my PCR 500,
other Ableton sounds are working.

Longs in professional libraries are nearly always controlled by mod wheel. This is normal and preferred to make it sound more realistic. There would be no way to do this with key velocity as you would have to have the long note at the same volume for the duration of you playing, with no dynamics.
Unfortunately the PCR-500 (I assume the Roland PCR-500?) has that combined pitch bend/mod so not the best to control modulation with, but you should get something out of it. I don't know how easy it is to map one of those sliders to CC1, but that could be an option. CC11 is just really volume, so don't be so bothered by that, CC1 is the dynamics and where the real expression is.

I'd suppose you could just deal with CC1 in an editor in your DAW. It's not unusual for a library to require CC1 or CC11 or CC2 to be not-zero to sound. You should be able to reassign it to another number in the Spitfire
Not all libraries require dynamics be per se a controller thing, some come with dynamics samples, where velocity is plenty, and is meaningful to the amount of energy sent to the instrument. Or, on top of that CC1 or 2 brings in layers in a crossfade. Some things use CC11 for similar; but say in an Orchestral Tools SINE player lib and many things today, 11 is really just a second volume control.
