Hi guys could really do with some help here

so, ive got a sustain pedal coming into pd as a midi control message ([ctlin 64 9]) from a usb acoustic trigger to midi module, sending in 127 for on and 0 for off.

in my patch i have various elements triggering the production of midi notes with the use of [makenote] which then gets sent to [noteout], then to the iac driver, and into a software synth that receives its midi from the iac.

i want to be able to use the sustain pedal as you would normally but am struggling with this. Im not sure if its a case of using the ctlin data to modify the midi notes before they are sent out, or whether its a case of sending straight out the midi control data to the synth as well (ive briefly tried this but no luck so far)

i had tried using the sustain data to modify the makenote notelength argument but ofcourse this meant that the note carried on sounding when the pedal was release, which i dont want.

hopefully this is clear, would really appreciate the help

I just threw this together and can't test it right now, but I think it does what you are looking for. Or, at least, might put you on the right path.

actually, there is one problem, dont know if you know any way round this, if the sustain pedal is pressed and held, and then i change channel, when i release the pedal the notes triggered on the other channel ofcourse dont stop until i return to that channel and send through the note off information!

do i need to send the note off information on all channels of something to that degree?

i think ive done it,

i connected the [$1 0( box to noteout boxes for all channels and it seems to work fine, crisis averted, i hope

running into problems still, have absolutely no idea what to do.

for some reason when i play multiple midi notes with the sustain pedal on, when i turn it off there is usally always one note that just carries on forever!!

any ideas anyone!!???

Sounds like you may be pressing the pedal after initially playing a note, which with the patch I posted means it will not get stored. Which reminded me that I find the http://www.pdpatchrepo.info/hurleur/midi_pedal.pd

i think ive sorted it a different way!

im now sending the 127 and 0 values out on 16 x [ctlout] for all channels so the midi control data goes straight to the sound production program, seems fine and much simpler, cheers for the help!

the table method? any ideas for a solution? the help's much appreciated

I attached a patch to the previous post that illustrates it.
