Pedal lines are automatically played back in Dorico Pro.
The three piano pedals send MIDI controllers as follows:
-
Sustain pedal lines send MIDI controller 64 (Sustain).
-
Sostenuto pedal lines send MIDI controller 66 (Sostenuto).
-
Una corda pedal lines send MIDI controller 67 (Soft Pedal).
Some piano VST instruments, such as Pianoteq and Garritan CFX Concert Grand, support partial depression of the sustain pedal. Consult the manufacturer’s documentation for more information.
