Spitfire Percussion - Joby Burgess
@MarcLarcher has developed these templates for the Spitfire Percussoin library. The file contains:
the Dorico project, with every (I hope) sound set up and demo’d.
the playback template (if you don’t want to start with the Spitfire Percussion.dorico file

@Julian_C has posted a playback template for EastWest Quantum Leap Symphonic Orchestra (EWQLSO) Gold, which you can find here:

This playback template references all the pitched insttruments in the library but only a small fraction of the unpitched percussion patches
I am pretty sure that these are working as I have used them successfully in a couple of projects already

@jamesdarcy is working on support for Spitfire Audio’s Studio Strings:
Hi All
I have attempted to use a number of expression maps available on this forum but to my mind they have all been a little incomplete for my needs. They are certainly a good start but they lack a number of key features:
Mappings to existing “standard” dorico Playback Techniques
Creation of new playback techniques to suit some of the less-common sounds available in the library (air, hollow, quadruple double tongue, blended muted sections, super sul tasto, Sul C and Sul G, brushed stroked, …
