Articulations are not working

Posted

I have BBCSO Core.  I've been trying to get articulations working with keyswitches for hours.  I'm using a new arrangement.  I updated to Pro v3.0.3 too, but it didn't make a difference.  I've deleted and recreated devices many, many times.  I managed to configure a Synfire device to make articulation changes by assigning the keyswitches in the C9 range both in Synfire and the BBCSO plugin, but when I select an articulation some other (wrong) articulation is selected in the plugin.  I'm pulling my hair out.  I would appreciate any suggestions.

After further experimentation I determined that if I send keyswitches starting at G#8 this corresponds to keyswitches set in the plugin at C1.  B8 corresponds to C#1 etc.  I have closed and restarted the app many times and deleted and recreated devices many times.  What is causing such an extreme keyswitch offset?

Synfire assumes middle C is C3. Maximum possible MIDI pitch is G8 (127). Try an octave lower

In the past, I created an articulation template for the BBC Symphony Orchestra Discovery free plugin.

It can be found in the Synfire repository under my forum name: janamdo 

Could this help you with your setup?
