I’m using EastWest Symphonic Orchestra for playback. The 18 Violins master keyswitch set has no entry for muted violins or col legno battuto; these effects have to be loaded as distinct instruments. Having a “player” keyswitch on a single instrument for particular articulations works great, but wh…

Thank you, dbudde. That did the trick. (Setting “Prefix for instrument change labels” to “Custom,” and leaving the “Custom prefix” field empty.) So, the steps I had to take to marry playback to notation successfully were: Setup Mode In Layout Options ► Players ► Instrument Changes, set the pre…

Yes, I believe you could do that by recording the MIDI stream inside Bidule. It doesn’t have an extensive MIDI editor for recorded MIDI files though (the step sequencer does (It’s like a diamond drum editor…I insert a little bidule that converts what draw in from notes to CC)…the step sequencer do…

Yes, latest version of Bidule. I don’t have anything else running. There is no mention of anyone running High Sierra beta on their forum. That is likely the issue, but none of my other audio software (and I have a lot of other audio software) has any problem with this version of the OS.

They might be highly interested in your case then. If I had a Mac, and more experience with the platform to compare notes I’d be far more helpful. Fire them an email and see what happens?

Brian, in the end it comes down to what you want to spend your time doing. From your posts here I get the impression that you find “using all the available technology” is an interesting activity in itself. For me, it isn’t - I get plenty of that in my “day job”. (Though that sometimes reads across …

Based on OPs posts, I gather he’s a developer of software and is quite knowledgeable about synth and sampler engines and libraries. He’s got two ears, a full tool box, and a creative mind. I don’t believe I’m picking on anyone who is anything less than enthusiastic about music world tech. I coul…

While it’s impressive in its power and simplicity of design, I worry that the workings of Bidule’s processing nodes foil intuition. Trying to understand how the actual nodes work, and how they make one objective possible while they confound other mechanisms that worked just fine, has been rather ch…

I’ll take look at the link. I think I get you sorted, but at this point it sounds like all you need to is to use two key-switches in different ranges from the expression map. Another option could be using a CC or PC to do channel hops and leave key_switches for internal EW switching.

CC or PC is precisely what I was planning to look into, instead. That just seems like the logical way to go, especially PC which I’m not using at all, and don’t foresee using. I just have to figure out which nodes (Bidules) support the functionality that I require.

Here is a bit more detail on this question: I fidded with VidPlayVST in Bidule for a few minutes. In this case there is no advantage to running it in Bidule. In fact, in Dorico it looks and resizes better if I do NOT run it in Bidule. I just added it to the Dorico Whitelist and tried it directl…
