On/Off switch – Like the Sustain controller (CC 64), However it only holds
MIDI CC Sostenuto notes that were “On” when the pedal was pressed. People use it to “hold”
66 On/Off Switch chords” and play melodies over the held chord.
0 to 63 = Off, 64 to 127 = On

On/Off switch
MIDI CC Soft Pedal

MIDI CC
Hold 2 notes fade out according to their release parameter rather than when the
69
pedal is released.

MIDI CC Sound Allows shaping the Voltage Controlled Filter (VCF). Default = Resonance -
