For the alternative expression control via the button, perhaps it would be better to toggle between zero expression and fader position expression rather than full expression.
Those mysterious holes in the back of your keyboard... 😂 I do have pedals, but they tend to get kicked around, since they're not attached to a console. This is a nice option, especially if you have a small or portable setup. (do the boutique synths even have jacks for sustain and expression?)
This could be very useful. I have a pedal but it often gets shoved under the desk out of the way, then unplugged and forgotten... and basically, it's not convenient. Interesting, indeed.
You can't really do sustenuto via the sustain input if the synth doesn't support it. Can you? You would have to do some filtering on the stream of MIDI notes coming out of the keyboard. The sustain input can't do it can it? Isn't it just 0/1 or 0/127 value being communicated to the synth via the sustain input?
That's right, but I could "hold" the note off commands via script. Pseudocode: 1) Press some keys on the keyboard (e.g. C3,E3,G3) 2) Press sostenuto button 3) computer memorizes these notes and filters out the note off commands 4) release sostenuto button 5) computer sends note off commands for C3,E3,G3)

Thanks very much for developing the virtual fader script and this video! The sustain-at-zero idea is an excellent way to implement sostenuto!
Thank you very much! Just came home, going to watch you magnum opus now! :-)
Handy tool!!!! Really great jam, too!!!! 😎
Thanks for your kind words!
ARP hold, arp octave (+) (-), pannning. Awesome video
Thank you very much! (Those are great ideas!)
very cool thank you, my osmose does this with a pedal but a great gadjet
Thanks for watching!
This is genius! This is like a sustenuto pedal for synths!
Thanks! (I changed the video's title accordingly ;-) )
This is actually amazing! I will definitely be picking this up!
@@mr_floydst Just a little nitpick: being an Italian term it's sostenuto.
@@jimbotron70 Oh haha, thanks for pointing that out. Corrected the video's title.

That's a good idea! Thanks for your input.

@@scottk3292 use pedalboard velcro to keep the pedals in place

Thanks! I agree.
