Since Synfire Pro 2.2.1 Build #3 you can import Expression Maps as articulations. This saves you the tedious effort of adding articulations manually.
When you open the Articulations dialog, you will see a new button for expression map import.
Many vendors of sound libraries offer expression maps for download already. With VSL, for example, you can use the Vienna Assistant app to download them.
It is important to keep in mind that articulations are identified by name when you assign them to a Figure segment or symbol. Changing an articulation's name in a device description does not automatically update the Figures in all your arrangements. We thus recommend you don't change any imported names. This will also keep your arrangements compatible with those of other users that use the same sound library.
