If you have the full version of HALion, that has a sampler, in which you can load audio samples and then trigger them with MIDI Regions.
There may be other VST players that will the same thing.
Yes a workaround (there are many) can fill the gap. But still if you worked with audio in staffpad to have audio in dorico makes a lot of sense for multiple reasons (as stated above). Simplicity is one for my taste.
If you have a single audio file played back by a single long MIDI note, the downside of the MIDI region method is that it becomes difficult to start playback from any point in the score and have the same scrubbing capabilities as you would with audio.
I can add fx in post in something like DaVinci resolve but I need them there ready for scoring, not in post.
Whenever I’ve needed a sample, I just load it into Kontakt …
… then use a MIDI Trigger Region in Dorico:
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.)
“I am the Rhodes-man,
cuckoo, good job.”
Kontakt is a good idea. I got out of the habit of using it when I bought other orchestral libraries, but it has a lot of good functions (like sampling).
Why can’t Dorico just be a plug-in like you can use ReasonStudio as plug-in in any DAW?Todays computers are fast enough and syncing up the transports cannot be a miracle. IMHO uniting a good DAW and with a good notation software (probably currently the best) means uniting music theory with creative tools.
Looking closer into music theory opened a world of music for me. You do not get that in a DAW. I am not sure why there has to be a rift between ‘creative’ and ‘serious’ music making

Why do you differentiate between creative and serious music?
That is how I perceive the music industry. A smaller group of people with a solid music theory education and large group that just loves to make music with little or no music theory background.
I am in the latter group with an engineering background. I came to the conclusion that making music without music theory is like going to a country where I do not speak or read in their language, but try to get big things done, so I study music now.
DAWs have little or no Dorico or Scaler type of functionality and vice-versa. On a personal level I also feel a trench between people who first made music on a DAW and who first learned to play an instrument. Just my 2c. I may be wrong.

Ah. Interesting viewpoint. I believe there is no right nor wrong. Thanks for explaining your point of view.
Four years have been past. Nothing happened about audio track.
I guess that means it’s complicated from both the Dorico and Cubase side.
Indeed, that ‘complication’ is in trying to get all the various teams/resource needed, lined up into one coherent schedule of effort, no doubt.
