I’m beginning to think that Dorico _does some things_ to the notes that OT doesn’t like: all the Playback Options stuff about note lengths, variation of timing and dynamic, etc etc. I get markedly different results using Logic. Here’s my observations in creating maps for OT’s Miroire library. > [@Miroire OT Experimental Ex Maps](https://forums.steinberg.net/t/miroire-ot-experimental-ex-maps/740474): > > After around two weeks of messing around with Orchestral Tools’ SINE Player and the Miroire Library, I’ve got an experimental set of Expression Maps for Oboes, Flute, Brass, Strings and Basso. The maps are probably most useful (or rather only useful) with the SINE Player presets that I’ve also made. You can load these .otsave files into the SINE Player. They are still a bit crude and a ‘work in progress’, but I thought I’d share them, to see if anyone else can use them or improve on them. I’v… The one thing I got wrong was the Dynamic Range slider shouldn’t be moved to the right: keep it at the left. I vacillate between deciding whether their Legato mode is a good thing or not on a daily basis. But still my main gripe with OT is that their samples seem very ‘late’ compared to others. Like a real orchestra, I’d forgive a lot if they just played on the beat. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.steinberg.net/t/expression-maps-for-berlin-series-on-sine-wip/751387)._
