FenderBenders, see my comment below about the initial velocity. Re: the 
change in volume when you play the next note, I'm thinking that what 
you're seeing there is the lack of legato effect. Essentially what is 
happening is each note is starting from scratch, rather than flowing 
(that's my understanding). Jean-Jacques' recent posting of mods in this 
area may improve this.

Chris, thanks for your instructions. They worked well. I now seem to 
have more dynamic range in volume than I had before. I've changed all 
instruments in the soundfont I'm using, and they all showed that effect. 
The overall feel is better than previously when I was using CC11 rather 
than CC2, particularly for softer notes. I don't know why, but it feels 
better.
