I’ve been chewing through the morass of Sampled Snare Roll Playback Q$As, but can’t find an answer to specifically this:
I’ve gotten my Perc Map and Perc Kit to correctly trigger the sampled snare-roll key in my drum kit. But laying on the necessary tremolo marking continues to trigger the machine-gun playback of a conventional tremolo. I.e., I’m getting the sampled and Dorico-created tremolos simultaneously.
Fix for this?
Sometimes I have found a solution for this is to also create an expression map with a base tremolo technique, and then connect it to a dummy/null keyswitch if you will – in other words you reroute it to nothing so that when Dorico sees a tremolo it will use that instead of attempting to override with its own generated machine-gun effect. Might require some trial & error but this usually works for me in similar scenarios.
Provided your percussion map is using the Tremolo (pt.tremolo) playback technique, Dorico should be clever enough to only play back the sampled tremolo and not also repeat the notes. If you can’t figure it out, please share a version of the project as cut down as you can manage that includes the instrument in question, the percussion map, and (if applicable) the expression map.
Thanks much, Daniel. I ended up figuring it out.
Turns out I had two tremolo indicators; one as a direction, and the other as an attribute. Cleared out the direction version and Dorico immediately got happy with nice sampled-snare rolls.
