After many months of failing to grasp even the basics of using VSTs within Dorico (with the exception, thank goodness, of the wonderful NotePerformer), I’ve finally succeeded in getting a simple one-instrument score to sound in Kontakt, used as a container for Heavyocity’s Nylon Guitar. However, as the screenshot shows, the velocities are all at maximum despite the numerous dynamic changes. On the basis of other threads I checked out Playback Template (a feature I haven’t yet explored) and found out that selecting another option, in this case, randomly, HSSE Elements, and found that that did show velocity following dynamics. But it also changed the VST instrument setting to Halion Sonic. I’d like to know what my next move should be. Is ‘Duplicate Playback Template’ a place to start?
I don’t know this library, Heavyocity’s Nylon Guitar. The first thing I’d do is open the expression map loaded with it (press the cog next to its name, in the left column in Play mode— the expression map is the last item to the right in the table that appears). Make sure the dynamics are set with the velocity. Then, the dynamics from Dorico should be conveyed to the velocity.

I would expect this to work with the Default expression map (which does use velocity).

Brilliant! Many thanks.
