Create special text or symbol for key switch

Hi, I was wondering if anyone can point me towards a way to create a custom symbol or use text to trigger a keyswitch in a sample library. I’m looking to trigger certain aspects of some libraries and then hide the symbol or text for performance purposes. I thought this was possible but I can’t seem to find what I’m looking for. Thank you!

You create a custom Playing Technique (These you can hide).

You link that to a Playback Technique. And the Playback Technique is used to trigger the correct keyswitch in the Expression Map.

Thank you! It was right in my peripheral vision but didnt see it.

Hi, I created a new technique in playback options. I called it gd sfz to trigger the sfz patch in my glory days library.

In the options I named it gd sfz.

alias and fallback I left blank.

Group is set to techniques.

I tried setting to atribute and direction.

When i use the teachnique popover shift P and write gd sfz it’s not working.

What am I missing? Thank you!

The difference between Playing Technique (shift-P…) something you write on the score and Playback Technique - something that triggers an expression map switch - and is referenced in the Playing Technique definition.
