Triggering Pedal Noise Samples

You can use the MegaTrig module to trigger pedal noise samples for your piano notes.

Prerequisite

  • The program contains the piano samples and the pedal noise sample.

  • The pedal noise sample is mapped to a key outside the range that is used to trigger piano samples, so that you will not trigger it accidentally while playing.

Procedure

  1. Insert the MegaTrig module.
  2. Open the MIDI Modules Editor for this layer, so that the MegaTrig control panel is shown.
  3. Set the first condition to Note-on.
  4. Set the second condition to Sustain On.
  5. Activate both conditions and set the operator to AND.

    Now, the condition is true if a note is played and the sustain pedal is pressed.

  6. Set the Trigger pop-up menu to Fixed Note.
  7. Specify the pitch and the velocity of the key that triggers the pedal noise sample with the Note and Velocity controls.
