I open the Pro Player and watch the matrix. Important is a memorable structure.
Even more important is an intuitive structure of the interface for selecting the artikulations. The Expression Map is only a tool for the adaption of that interface to the matrix. So at least i don't need an artikulation list. Or am i wrong?

My question:
Where can i read something about String-Artikulation-Notation?
We have so many similar artikulations, and you have to give different names or symbols for each seperate artikulation. I find no rule for writing something or not. If you switch very fast, the words needs more space than the music.

I think legato should be written as a bow from the first to the last note of the phrase. How to do that?

Symbols for XFades from vib to no vib? Strange things to notate. Do you have ideas?

Hello Friends,

i am looking for a quite ordinary up bow and down bow. I think to red that keyword in the manual, but now i can't find it anymore. It should sound like that:

You can see the up and down bows and i don't know, what patch to choose.

First i played with legato, which is too soft. Also played with staccato or spiccato, which is too hard. Best is sfz or some detache patches. Is that right? I think i tried all patches ... here is the essence of 16 patches, what remained in my matrix.

Some patches have still have the same attack and transitions. The difference is later in sound. That is regular Player 1:

0:00 detache long, (too close)

0:04 detache short, (good Sound but i hear overlaps)

0:08 fortepiano, (tuning instable)

0:11 performance legato non vibrato, (too close)

0:15 performance legato vibrato (no difference)

0:20 performance portamento vibrato (not suitable)

0:24 performance repetition portamento (i don't wanted accents)

0:28 performance repitition spiccato (i don't wanted accents)

0:31 performance repetition staccato (no difference)

0:35 performance thrill legato (still the same atack)

0:40 performance thrill marcato (tuning instable, staccato like, overlaps)

0:44 sforzandissimo (maybe the best, but overlaps. I hear more than one Violin)

0:47 sforzando (almost too soft, it is more legato like, could work)

0:51 staccato (i don't wanted accants or staccato)

0:55 sustain non vibrato (is a bit clean and flanging)

0:59 sustain vibrato (works quite good, could be more precisely, especially considering more players)

On the end of the mp3 is a combination of patches, what have a more staccato character as i wanted.

Here is the result with two instruments (8 violins and 6 celli):

And maybe you have a hint for me, how to reach a official up and downbow instead of legato or staccato.

The effect of this lib is noble, but i look for a safe way because i don' want to program the same thing many times after finding a better way ;-)
