MDT and controlling keyswitch "special effects"?

edited March 2009 in Windcontrollers
Are there any MDT users that have found a way to trigger some of the special "keyswitch" keys directly from the MDT itself? I know that you can map the vibrato, pitch bend, and buttons to certain midi controllers to some degree, but you could not assign say a specific "note" to be sent (or am I missing something?)



It would be cool to be able to trigger the wah or a fall for example directly from the horn instead of reaching for the keyboard, etc. Is there a way? Or perhaps The Trumpet would need to be modified to allow keyswitch upon receiving a CC signal instead of a note...



Thanks :)

    I don't have an MDT but I achieve cc to keyswitch remapping through the use of custom intermediary software. Perhaps there is free software available online that does the same thing? Just an idea.

    That's a good idea. I was wondering if that were possible, I guess i'll take a look for it. Alternately i was thinking perhaps a midi foot controller would do the trick (since i guess my feet wouldn't be already involved with the wind controller :)
