I’m struggling a little bit with getting decent demos of the music that I write with Dorico. I use BBC Spitfire library. I think I configured everything correctly but the strings are not playing glissando. How can I fix this?
Is there any way to pay for a session with someone in the Dorico team to fix all the issues I have regarding playback? I get lost in expression maps and things like that and I would like to concentrate on writing the music.
Also when I find a configuration that I like then I don’t know how to import the same VSTs configuration to a new project.
Sure you can tweak legato. I am not on the Steinberg team but I can assure you continuous string glissando is not possible or implemented in Dorico. No point looking for it. Not sure why you don’t take my word for it. Do a search of the forum for glissando and you will see.
In a recent thread, Daniel suggested it shouldn’t be too far away with the ability to configure the microtonal playback in the Expression Maps a first step in this direction. You can get a sort of gliss using pitch bend but I find it hard to control and it’s probably easiest to wait for the proper implementation. The only times I still occasionally find the need to open Sibelius for my own projects is when gliss playback is important.
The problem is that pitch bend shifts a single note. I guess a more complicate implementation could break it into smaller intervals, cross-fade them, and generate a bending with smaller shifting.
