thanks for that everyone, back to putting the nose to the grindstone figuring it all out. appreciate everyone's assistance

I see, it seems i have a lot more learning to do in the kontakt/midi space thanks everyone for knowledge sharing on this, has helped a lot.

can confirm the novation launchkey 25 doesnt do expression. i might have to persist with recording without the mod wheel for now and put the velocity in manually later. would like to really have it working though! dont know why its so hard

in this instance its the Latest Kontak, i did have a pretty good look to see if i can change it there but nothing.

I've completely miss understood mod wheel use and CC stuff then, wow. Im guessing i need to programme the lauchkey to what ever CC channel cakewalk uses for velocity so i can add dynamics to my midi recordings? Anyone know what CC does that in cakewalk?

Hi Thanks for the reply, The Display on my lauchkey says CC#001 and moves up to 127 (which would indicate velocity as volume would read 1-100) when used either when recording, or listening back to the recorded midi. my understanding is, at least during playback the mod wheel shouldnt effect the original recording. looks like it is.

Hi All, I'm relatively new to the new cakewalk having used SONAR Pro 8 since, well it was released. My question today is about My Launch key 25 and changing velocity's with the mod wheel. Latest Kontakt and any sound library it doesn't matter. My issue us the mod wheel effects the velocity of the midi recorded in play back. EG i record say a violin part at 50 VEL, come back the next day and play it back to hear it with the mod wheel turned up to full, the piece recorded now plays at max velocity! i haven't seen any questions about this after a few hours of searching, I'm sure its a user thing but i don't know what to do. i only want my mod wheel to effect velocities when recording multiple midi tracks, that's all. second to this when ever i record a clip of midi with say a fade in using the mod wheel the audio adapts the fade ins for the latest take as well so what would happen is 10 seconds the main note(first clip) is at a set velocity, i start 2nd note with mod wheel (2nd clip) sounds right when recording then on playback the instrument is playing both fade in, so clip one is using clip 2s fade in too. i have sound on sound recording enabled too so i can clean up my playing on piano easier. i feel i'm missing something really obvious but its doing my head in! help! thanks all!
