Hello,
I have created a custom playback technique ( expressivo in Violins I A combi) and set the key switch to F0 with C3 being the middle C ( as in Halion, I suppose).
How can I check to see what MIDI message ( note number) is triggered by the flow?
The play mode doesn’t show expr. as playing technique either as in the image below:
Any help would be appreciated.
I occasionally use this:
MIDI Monitor

Maybe not the most elegant solution, but I will load a plugin that has a keyboard at the bottom to see what is actually being received.
There are two parts to this - A) is the technique being triggered ? I look first for what techniques are being triggered in the playback technique lane for the instrument in the play tab. Then B) I look at what notes are being triggered by the technique if I need
I have midi monitor. But I don’t think I can insert it in channel strips as a plug-in.
What I usually do in Play is create a MIDI instrument and connect it to MIDI monitor then set the instrument, a violin say, to send to that MIDI instrument. Then MIDI Monitor will show me what the Xmap is sending out.

Another option is simply to export a MIDI file. When you export MIDI, Dorico outputs exactly the notes and controllers that it uses during regular playback.
@dspreadbury I hope there was an easier way. Maybe borrow MIDI monitor ( include it in channel strip ) from Cubase!
Do you think I can use the virtual cable (IAC driver on Mac) to monitor it? I wish there was a MIDI monitor VST for purchase.
You can use an IAC and route the messages to Protokol | hexler.net . Some plugins, such as Kontakt have their own MIDI monitor too.
Does HSSE have a MIDI monitor?
No, I don’t think so, but you can see the keys on the virtual keyboard.
Yes. But it is often difficult to see if a key is pressed in HSO/HSSE. I wish there was a red dot or something showing up there are multiple colors sometimes near key switches that make it difficult to see if a key is pressed or not!
@Chikitin: If you set up MIDI Monitor as an “External midi instrument” you can create a separate Playback template that routes the instrument to MIDI monitor in stead of your VST, and test your ExMap on that one.
You have to set Midi Monitor to "Act as a destination for other programs first.
You will not be able to hear what is supposed to be played, but you get full control of what Dorico sends for playback.
