Controlling MIDI?

[sassonsb]

I have an E-MU B3 synth connect via MIDI to my Extreme. The output of the B3 synth then goes to a dedicated channel on my mixer. Everything seems to work ok except I can't control the volume with the volume slider on the keyboard, I can trigger the rotating speakers if I push and hold the joystick up but if I let it go the effect stops (unlike the Korg samples), and the damper pedal doesn't work.
I have the same problems if I connect a Roland JC-1010 synth.
I tried messing with the global midi settings but couldn't figure it out.
Any tips?
Thanks.

I can't control the volume with the volume slider on the keyboard

Triton's Volume slider is for internal sound module exclusively. It does not transmit any MIDI messages. Use any realtime controls, like knobs (with assigned CC#7) or - if You really need slider for that purpose - in combi mode choose MIDI channel for given part; the channel must be different from Global Channel (P2/MIDI Channel). Now go to Mixer view, focus volume slider of that part and move the slider - among with SysEx there will be Volume message transmited as well.

I can trigger the rotating speakers if I push and hold the joystick up but if I let it go the effect stops (unlike the Korg samples).

Yes, choose any organ program on Korg featuring rotary speaker, go to IFX details slot (where rotary speaker is placed) and see "Speed Switch" parameter - it has JS+Y which is TOGGLE. It means what it is supposed to mean - if JS+Y is >0 (theoreticaly) then the parameter is applied ONCE (ON mode) until joystick comes back to 0 position. When you perform the same activity again, the parameter is applied ONCE again but with OFF state. If you need the same behaviour with EMU program it to respond in same way.

and the damper pedal doesn't work.

You mean it does not work at all or halfdamping feature is not available? Does it work correctly for internal Korg sounds? Did You check MIDI filter settings /MIDI channel settings/polarity of the pedal?
