| MIDI CC | Function | Performance Tip | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Dynamics (piano to forte) | Do not set to volume; it crossfades between sampled dynamic layers. | | CC2 (Breath/Expression) | Vibrato intensity | Set to an expression pedal for lush romantic lines. | | CC11 | Bow pressure/re-attack | A quick jab on CC11 creates a powerful "harsh" bow change. | | CC64 (Sustain Pedal) | Legato mode toggle | Pedal down = polyphonic legato; Pedal up = monophonic solo mode. |
