I previously asked if it was possible to load audio files into Dorico, and I found a simple way to do so. I usually create orchestral music, but this time I’m working on a song with vocals, and I wanted to use Logic’s Session Player for the accompaniment. However, I want to do the orchestration in D…

There are several VSTs that can load an audio file and play it back when ‘triggered’ appropriately. Kontakt and the full HALion player will both do this. You may be able to trigger the audio sample with a MIDI Trigger Region, if necessary.

So there is a useful plug-in that allows you to import audio files into Dorico. Is it a paid plug-in?

The samples are loaded into the VST plug-ins, and you can then trigger them from Dorico. Yes, the full Kontakt and the full HALion are commercial products that you have to buy.

I have the full version of Kontakt 7. Is this included?

I’m not sure how to do this right now, but does this mean that if I import an audio file into Kontakt itself and trigger it with Dorico, the audio file will play at any time?

Yeah, just add it as a VST in Dorico, then drag the audio file into Kontakt, and assign the VST to the player. Middle C will trigger the original sample without pitch alterations.

I’ve tried using an audio track in Kontakt, but I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong. When I write a 100-bar middle C and press play in bar 20, the track only triggers from the beginning. Is there a way to sync the audio track so that if I start playback from bar 20 in Dorico, Kontakt will play…

Are you triggering your audio sample just once at the beginning of the Dorico flow (bar 1?) with a "100-bar middle C, I take it? Is the sample the entire duration of your flow? My understanding of how this works is that the sample has to receive a MIDI NOTE ON message in order to be triggered to pl…

FWIW converting an audio file to a video file that Dorico can play is about the same effort as converting a wav to an mp3 - lots of free programs to do it. That’s the only option I’ve found that keeps in rock solid sync for any random moment you start playback in Dorico.

As far as I know.

Audio Track Dorico

Whenever I’ve needed a sample, I just load it into Kontakt … [kontakt] … then use a MIDI Trigger Region in Dorico: [cuckoo] Would be nice if this could be done without using another program, but it does work fine: (LOL, I missed you actually wrote cuckoo clock, not cuckoo when I made the example. Oops.)
