  • OK...really quick question about changing articulations in ONE Midi channel

    Hi there!

    OK, I´m using Vienna Instruments, and have 1 midi track in my DAW.

     

    If I play in some notes, how can I go back and edit the midi notes to play different articulations? (within the same MIDI track)

     

    When I switch the articualtion in Vienna Instruments, it then plays that articulation for ALL the notes.

    I don´t want to use a different track for each seperate articulation.

    PS...I have recently just moved from using scoring software (and using that to trigger articulations) to using VSL in a DAW. So apologies for the basic question!

     

    Best regards!


  • We'll need to know which host (DAW) you're using...

  • What you generally would do is switch instantly between articulations with keyswitches.  Using separate tracks is not needed.  With VI/VE you can use just one track for each instrument, and switch between any articulations needed.  

    I tend to create my own presets, and it is not hard to do as you can tell what articulations you need, and just add each one with a new keyswitch.  


  • Look at the videos for Vienna Instruments for instructions on how to set this up.

    Start with the overiview video and skip to 1 minute in, by the time you are 3 minutes in, it will have explained how to do this.
