Custom Sustain Pedal

Here's a little utility script I made for dive-bombing and generally sliding with the Scarbee Rickenbacker without a sustain pedal. I think this is probably doable in the built in Modifier too but I wanted to make a script to learn a little. Enjoy. It's pretty easy to remap any control to the notes menu. Just change the CC number in the script.

I am also working on a script for automating the Scarbee keyswitches post recording since I suck at playing them live. If anyone has the Rick I would be curious to know if yours accepts sending a new midi note on with pitch 33 from scripter. Mine does sorta but it instantly acts like it received a note off too.

Anyway: Paste this into your (edit: scripter not scripture) and SUSTAIN the crap out of anything.

//Custom Sustain Pedal
var NOTES = [];
for (var i = 0; i < MIDI._noteNames.length; i++) {
	NOTES.push(MIDI._noteNames[i]);
	}	
NOTES.push("--All enabled--");	
function HandleMIDI(event) {
var note = GetParameter("Replace Sustain Pedal With")
var all = GetParameter("Enable Any Note for Sustain")

 if(event instanceof NoteOn && all == 1 ||event instanceof NoteOn && event.pitch == note) {
 
   var cc = new ControlChange; //make a new control change message
   cc.number = 64; //set it to controller 64 (sustain)
   cc.value = 127; //set the value
   cc.send(); //send the event
   Trace("Sustain On"); //print the event to the console
}
else if (event instanceof NoteOff && all == 1 ||event instanceof NoteOff && event.pitch == note) {

   var cc = new ControlChange; //make a new control change message
   cc.number = 64; //set it to controller 64 (sustain)
   cc.value = 0; //set the value
   cc.send(); //send the event
   Trace("Sustain Off"); }

else {
event.send();
}
}
