    Hi everyone,

    Today, I was playing around with the envelope settings and the first control knob Dly. My question is: Does this simply move the samples, changing only the starting point of it, or something else, too?

    I'm asking myself, if it could be used to keep different articulations in the grid. Until now, I'm using the two classic methods of (a) switching articulations and manually moving the midi events to compensate the individual delays, or (b), I create dedicated tracks for each articulation and set a negative track delay within the DAW.

    • The first method works for me, if there isn't a lot to edit (only a few tracks), otherwise it can be a total mess.
    • The second one, I prefer for larger arrangements, because I can stay in the grid and quantize the events. I can also move events from one track to the other and the starting point of the articulation is always perfect.

    Ok, back to Dly of the envelope. If this control is just delaying the whole envelope of the sample, I could set the negative track delay for the Synchron Player to the "laggiest" articulation on my track and adjust all other articulations inside the player, as Dly is individual for all articulations and not global.

    In case of "yes", what does mean the numerical value below the track? Is it measured in milliseconds (ms) or sth else? The manual does not specify that any further. As I already have worked out the individual delays of all articulations of my libraries, I could just copy those values.💡

    Maybe someone can shed some light on this?

    Cheers, Gunter

    Update, IT works!

    In Studio One, I created a new track with the EliteStrings and 12 articulations, I'm using all the time. The "laggiest" ones are Long and Perf. Legato, but about the same delay.
    I did it as described above and finally, I also adjusted the individual levels for each articulation. When switching, I have roughly the same level for all of them. Now I can stay in the grid and continue editing automation for expression, VEL.XF etc.

    For shure, this can declutter the arrangement, seriously – if you like switching! :)

    May the sound be with you,
    Gunter
