Can anybody tell me, which VST 3 samples will allow me to playback string playing techniques such as snap pizz. , col legno, (glissando?) and such stuff through Dorico? - as I suppose Halion can not do it for the time beeing …?
Any suggestions will be very helpfull.
Vienna Symphonic Library is widely accepted as one of the best; and has these articulations and techniques. Expression maps for Dorico are not yet complete. But will come.
I know that’s VSL’s official position when asked if they’ll release official expression maps, but it is my opinion that the features they are waiting for are merely time-savers, because both softwares are flexible enough to accommodate the needs of each other already.
I don’t think I’m wrong in believing that VSL and Steinberg are and/or have been in communication (as one would expect) re expression maps etc.
And that - as you say - quite a lot works already - again, as one would expect… I’ve certainly had some success.
I may have seen a suggestion somewhere that importing Cubase Expression Maps might also work; or at least be a good place to start experimenting - depending on how ambitious one’s project is.
That’s why I suggested optimism as well as incompleteness (there is work to be done) .
