Hi all,
It seems currently there's no companies working on an agreed ?"common artic standard" (maybe call it CARTv1 ??), that works rather like the General MIDI (GM standard). I mean, some sort of code/script/dump that could work across different software and hardware and automatically call up and play *consistently named* core patches/samples, such as (say, for strings): sustained, legato short, leg long, staccato, pizz, spiccato, sfz, trills, col legno, harmonics.. ??
This would require a collaborative approach among different visionary companies like VSL and others to create *a new articulation standard* that could call up their own actual sampled patches for these artics (consistently and seamlessly behind the scenes) rather than, for example, using CC1 or 7 etc for a crescendo within a sustained note, or algorithmically cutting short a sustained patch to try and mimic a real sampled staccato. VSL has VIs with such patches, and these add so much more realism than (say) an algorithmic faux-staccato.
I'd be most interested in feedback and other ideas/suggestions along these lines..
What do others think??
Cheers,
A
