Dear Friends,
In a previous post (link below) there is a great description on how to configure old vsl gig versions.
There is a place where you can configure the relation between the OMN articulation command with the correspondent keyswitch.
QUESTIONS:
1) Let´s say I invent a new articulation in a custom sample library, for example "nail-scrape" for indicating the violin player to scrape the string with his/her nail. In this case, I need this OMN expression to: a) apear in the score notation and b) change the corresponding keyswitch.
2) In the case of the OMN expression "long", I configured it to change to the crescendo/diminuendo long samples in VSL, but this does not appear in the notation. This is great, because I don´t need it to be specified in the notation, since the long note values are enough, I just need the keyswitch.
So there is the two scenarios:
1) CASE 1: OMN change keyswitch AND appear on the score
1) CASE 1: OMN change keyswitch AND DO NOT appear on the score
The articulation expression syntax is a kind of yellow/brown word in the OMN code. Only articulation related words appear as an assignable articulation for this kind of use.
FINALLY, THE GREAT QUESTION:
How can I create my CUSTOM articulation OMN expression, like the "nail-scrape" example, so that this articulation can be customized also as appearing or not appearing in the score ?
This can be really useful for expanded techniques in special scores with special sample libraries or even with scores based on customized samples, or new instruments.
All the best !
