It’s not currently possible to load Iconica patches automatically as for HSO, but it can be used as part of a Playback Template.
For the string section, load HSSE and then load 4 patches per instrument: Standard, long, short, dynamics. So 1-4 for violins 1, 5-8 for violins 2, 9-12 for violas, 13-16 for cello. It’s necessary to create a second HSSE for the basses.
So the first HSSE will look like this:
1 Violins 1 Standard
2 Violins 1 Long Notes
3 Violins 1 Short Notes
4 Violins 1 Dynamics
5 Violins 2 Standard
5 Violins 2 Long Notes
7 …
The base switches use relative channel switches to select between the 4 channels. ‘Natural’ switches back to the original channel.
Long articulations use CC1 dynamics, short articulations use velocity. Set the CC1 range to 10-127. If you find it too quiet then use 20-127.
Uses Legato runs for legato + short notes conditions
Articulations that can’t currently be mapped:
- Repetitions
- Crescendos, decrescendos, swell and fp
There are separate expression maps for strings (violin, viola, cello) and basses. The winds and brass can be set up in the same way as the strings, with the set of Standard, Long Notes, Short Notes, Dynamics for each.
