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).
However, It seems F0 is not triggered when I playback the score on the notes ( directive) have expressivo (expre.) on them!
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:
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
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.
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!
