Hi All,
any help much appreciated.
I'm using the above software (in title).
I've set up vienna ensemble running though logic, as I haven't had time to use a keyboard, this is how i've set it up:
I'm using a multi timbral 16 input virtual instrument in logic, to add a string accompaniment in midi over a track i already wrote for piano which is down in logic as an audio file.
I've been writing in a manner i'm sure is ridiculously inefficient and perhaps stems from not understanding what a keyswitch is in the context of a midi score,( or much about writing for midi anyhow); -
I use a separate vienna instrument in ensemble with a separate articulation in each midi channel, and try to synchronize them if I need to...
I can't figure out how to write in the midi so that it will play different articulations of the instrument in one channel, I can only seem to do this by playing live with a midi keyboard. If I change articulation on the vienna instruments/ensemble screen, the whole score in that channel changes to the selected articulation in logic.
second problem occurred when I first attached my keyboard today; logic does seem to record separate articulations in midi when played live (though I havent closed, saved, and re-opened to check), but I am having problems I dont understand with the keyboard.
Composing with the method above has left my Ensemble showing several instruments; among them a cello set to legato, a tremolo violin and a legato violin.
I began by trying the tremolo patch, recording my playing as I moved to legato using my pitchwheel. Fine.
Then I click to switch to the cello, and my keyboard seems to have mapped part of its keyspan to the cello, and part of it to tremolo violin. I also can't seem to play other instrument patches in spite of clicking them both in logic and VE.
Please help with this!
thanks,
David

if you press the key assigned to switch the matrix it is. you must have the keyswitches out of the range of the instrument you're using.@dlitt said:
Also,could anyone tell me whether the keyswitch articulations mean that a seperate matrix is triggered by every press of a certain musical keyboard key? ---im not surethis is my problem
