How To Add Sustain to a Piano Sound

• Sep 28, 2018 - 01:33

Hi. Is there a way to add a sustain function to the piano sound so that when I play back a score, the tied and large-value notes will sustain like using a sustain pedal on a piano? I am not happy using the built-in sounds have have natural sustain. I want a clean piano sound that sustains.
Thank you for your help!

Thank you. That's what I needed to know. I simply prefer the piano sound to the organ and all the other instruments that hold a stronger/longer sustain; I was hoping there was more I could do than what the regular default offers. Thanks, all, for taking the time to look at the sample and help me out!
Cheers!

Also, just to be clear: tied notes should already sustain. It is possible you are using a slur when you mean a tie? Or maybe you simply want a soundfont that has a longer natural sustain even without pedal? Every piano is different in this respect, and the default soundfont appears to be mimicing a piano with a relatively short sustain. Check the Handbook under "Soundfonts" and you will find quite a few alternatives, any one of which might serve your needs better.
