Carrying midi information to VST librarys - Finale 2007

In using the colossus/QL sample librarys, I wish to change the playback volume of a note in mid-note (swells and such).

If I set the continuous data to alter the volume of a note in classic midi, it works just fine.

On the same successful midi swell, it doesn't have a swell when I switch the sound over to a VST instrument.

The volume data doesn't carry over.

Any help? :/

(I'm using the full version of finale 2007 with the eastwest/QL 'colossus' library -- the instrument in particular is the violin)

I am not sure what you mean by the continuous data but the QL libraries I have, use the expression controller ( which I think is 11) to control individual crescendos. I don't know how you do this in finale but in other programmes it basically involves drawing the begin and end levels so you have an envelope in a controller window. Since Finale is mainly a notation programme it may not have controller screens/windows

Also in QL libraries you can also, under options, tell the programme how to use the controller data depending on what equipment you have - pedals, software etc. So you might have to choose one of right options to get it to work

Wooooot-

Using the expression controller worked,
