It then occurred to me that perhaps from a performance perspective, it might be useful to be able to dynamically adjust the attack of the note so that with a single patch, you could go from a quick note to a slow building sustained note and anything in between by adjusting the mod wheel while playing. The idea behind the mod wheel enabled patches was really to provide a note that is a little quicker than the sustain patches, but is not really a staccato note. Do you hear the note’s volume decrease as you move the mod wheel up? The volume should decrease simply because as you move the mod wheel up, it takes longer for the sound to reach it’s maximum volume. Load the “flute-SEC-normal-mod-wheel.sfz” file, rapidly play a note and as you are doing that, move the mod wheel from it’s lowest to highest setting. It’s even open-source, should you decide to examine the software and modify it to your liking. To hear the effect, try the following test: Whether you’re someone looking to study music production or need to create some beats for a commercial project, you can use LMMS as its license is free to use. Its an everything-including-the-kitchen-sink apps, providing you with all the tools you need to create melodies, lay down a beat (mad, phat, dope, or otherwise), synthesize new sounds, sample, loop, distort, enhance, and, of course, mix it all together. It may seem like a subtle difference but the instrument will not sound realistic if the note builds any more slowly than at the maximum mod wheel setting. LMMS is a free end-to-end, cross-platform music production suite. When the mod wheel is at its highest setting, the note will “slowly” build. When the mod wheel is at it’s lowest setting and a note is played, you will hear the note right away. The mod wheel, in the samples labelled “normal-mod-wheel”, (found in the Standard Orchestra edition) adjusts the attack of the samples. I suspect it’s mostly that I haven’t explained it well enough. Some have commented that the mod wheel doesn’t work or doesn’t do anything.
