    Hi cflast01, 

    A shot in the dark: You have to record the keyswitches in Logic, simply switching in the matrix with the mouse doesn´t change anything, the articulation will stay the same. 

    Don´t forget to set a keyswitch right before you start to play your sequence, otherwise the first note will always be the last articulation you selected in the matrix!

    Best,

    Hello, I'm having trouble with the keyswitches as well but for me it's just that they are NOT doing anything. I've followed step by step the tutorial as I thought I was just being stupid and making a mistake somewhere as it's an easy manipulation BUT it stil doesn't do anything. For instance, I have loaded VI staccato in my first cell and VI sustain in my second horizontal cell. I now want C1 & C#1 to control the H-SPAN. So I choose keyswitches as controllers and I set up C1 and C#1. Now, when I actually play C1 or C#1 on my keyboard to switch between cells, it just doesn't do anything. I can see the midi going in and " playing " C1 or C#1 but no switching is happening. I think it's just me being silly somewhere but I really can't find where. Thank you ! Rick E'

    Hi Rick, 

    there are 2 MIDI Standards, unfortunately. We have used the one with C4= middle C on an 88key keyboard, Logic uses C3= middle C. 

    Just try one octave lower.

    you can change in the Logic preferences the middle C so it fits with VSL

    It is in pref/display/general/display middle C as :

    to change articulation I use Bank and Program changes, I have wrote a big Environment in Logic to do so

    I use VSL presets, all is done on Logic side to fit VSl presets

    EVERIBODY THAT  USES VSL and LOGIC are waiting that Apple adds articulation changes in Logic's score !!!!!

    Hello

    The bank change allow you to change the instrument, and the program change the matrix

    You must create a custom bank change for each instrument

    Hi Cyril,

    Do you have to have VSL wired to an external instrument or multi instrument then?

    Many thanks

    to have bank changes you need a multi that will be connected to your VSL instrument or to your VE

    Hi Cyril,

    Could yopu explain a bit more about using the bank change to change the instrument, and how you have this set up.

    Many thanks
