    I would like to be able to use MIDI Volume messages (controller 7) to set the volume level for Vienna Imperial (as I do for all my Vienna Instruments inside Ensemble), but I don't see anyway to do this (for instance with a MIDI Learn function).  Any thoughts?

    A MIDI Volume message controller for a piano sample library?  You mean like the expression fader?  I don't own Vienna Imperial but I don't think you can do that.  If you program MIDI notes for a piano instead of playing them then why not just program the velocities as well?

    Hi Carter

    I'm sure someone with Imperial will jump in to help but have you tried control- clicking the volume slider in the GUI then moving your preferred controller?

    Really liked your score for Rob Roy BTW. [;)]

    Hi everybody,

    sorry for the late reply here.

    With Vienna Ensemble PRO, the automation of pan and volume for each channel will be available - soon [:)]

    And we´ll do our best to integrate CC7 as the colume controler in the next software update of Vienna Imperial.

    I don´t know which sequencer you are using, Carter, but for now, the best way to automate the Vienna Imperial Volume in Logic is to use it as a "normal" plug-in and automate the channel fader of the sequencer mixer.

    If you are working with Cubase or Sonar, VST automation is also a way to go, with Vienna Imperial used as a separate plug-in in your sequencer.

    Hope that helps.

    Best,

    Paul
