Sustain / Hold

Post by looneytoonz »

Hi Cherry Audio,

I'm digging the P-10 emulation. It sounds great!

I have a feeling this subject is going to be a bit contentious, and subject to the interpretation of original design. Anyway, is there a way to get Sustain behavior on the envelopes? Drone is not quite the same - but it could be if it was bound to CC-64, and there was a way to specify that the sustain pedal behavior is 'Momentary' (i.e. not toggled to ON/OFF, as is currently implemented).

I understand that the original design of the Prophets did not have sustain behavior, but modern Prophets do (because of the usability improvement, they have a 'Release/HOLD' control). Regardless of the philosophy, I would like the option to make the playing behavior similar to my other VSTs (including almost all other Cherry Audio VSTs) that HOLD envelope-sustain when CC-64 is depressed - especially when I am configuring multiple VSTs to be played from the same controller (during live performance). I don't mind having to take the extra step to bind the CC-64 to drone, and set the control to momentary to make that happen (even though the usability would be better for me if this were the default).

Thanks, Regards,
Kevin L

I too would like my sustain pedal to work as 'normal'. Feels weird that holding down the sustain pedal right now doesn't sustain the pads.

Fully appreciate honoring the original characteristics of the Prophets but would like to see some ideas please on working in the sustain pedal for directly affecting sustain on pads, etc. without twisting a knob. Love your products!
