Since Dorico’s “Latin Percussion” library is mostly undefined, I have found the midi channel I want to use - conga natural (45). There are different Conga sounds that I have defined as playing techniques: slap (43), toe (42), and heel (41). I have got two of them working in playback, but for some reason, I can’t get the “toe” playing technique to work properly. In the music I identify playing “toe” with an T, and set the playing technique as I defined it in the percussion maps. As a result, it just plays the natural sound. I even tried to use a different note head by way of defining the playing technique, and I still can’t get the playback. However, it auditions the note correctly.
Can you attach the project in which you’re trying to get this working, so we can take a look? Feel free to cut it down to just the conga instrument and a single bar of music.
Thanks for your response. I must have been doing something wrong. I started from scratch, and everything worked out.
