  • Cymbals A Crescendo/Dim not triggered by A/B

    Hi all,

    Can you help me understand if i'm missing something here:

    i'm working with Cymbals A from the percussion library, there's prerecorded tremolos with dynamics and the A/B switch should determine crescendos and diminuendos, but no matter how i set it i can only get crescendos...

     

    am i doing anything wrong?

     

    thanks a lot in advance for your help.

    all the best

  • Hi Mike, 

    Did you try the A/B keyswitch in different octaves (you can see which keyswitch is triggered in the VI / PRO interface)?

  • thanks for your help Paul, i took a look at the manual and it mentions the AB switch only when talikng about A6 and A#6 , does this mean that only those two notes are affected by the AB switch? i can see now that something changes but i have to say that the decrescendo is very subtle and not very usable in my opinion... do you agree? thanks a lot again kind regards -m

  • and as a side question:

    Is it possible to have a patch with Velocity X-Fade OFF but have it ON on specific notes?

    my problem is that on the same patch (for example Snare) i like to have single hits controlled by velocity but rolls controlled by the modwheel...since they are on the same patch just on different notes i cannot find a way to do this...

    thanks for your help!

  • Hi Mike, 

    I think the cres/dim samples sound very good...

    You cannot activate Vel XFade for specific notes, but you can load the same articulation into 2 different cells and activate Vel XFade for only one cell, if you like. 

    Best,
