Remote Controls


Many parameters of Acoustic Legends HD can be controlled
remotely via MIDI continuous controllers (CC's) sent from a controller
keyboard. These apply to most instruments in the library, however, in
a few cases the effect may not be noticeable (e.g. vibrato on very
short samples like the muted guitars) or may not be relevant (e.g. the
instruments in the Xtra Special Effects folder).

CC#1 - Vibrato: In most instruments, sending CC#1 (normally the
mod wheel) will add a touch of artificial vibrato to the guitars.

CC#7 - Volume: Controls the volume of the guitar.

CC#10 - Pan: Controls the pan of the guitar. At its mid position (64)
the guitar will be perfectly centered.

CC#11 - Expression: Acts as another volume control in addition to
CC#7. Some users prefer to use CC#11 instead of CC#7, so this
has been programmed for that purpose. CC#11's volume acts within
the volume set by CC#7.

CC#12 - Attack: Controls the attack time of the guitar. Each guitar
defaults to 0ms attack (CC#12=0) but you can raise this to soften the
attack and produce a gentler sound.

CC#13 - Release: Controls the release time of the guitar. This
refers to the amount of time after the key is released to the time the
instrument is completely silenced. In most guitars, this is set by
default to somewhere between 100-200ms. However, you can
manually control release time by assigning a controller knob to
transmit CC#13. This may be useful for harmonics patches if you
