I am really having difficulty figuring out how to use the artificial harmonics with the Solo Strings. I would appreciate your feedback. Thank you.
(1) If I apply “02 VI_har-art_sus” to a line of violin music in Digital Performer, it sounds to me that VI plays one octave higher than written. Is this correct?
(2) I have a line beginning at C6 and rising to Ab7 (so it is probably playing C7 to Ab[H]. None of the written notes above D7 are played with the harmonic patch yet if I substitute another one like the tasto sustained, it plays every note (although in the C6 to Ab7 range). Why is the harmonic patch out of range above the written note of D7 and is there a way to get around this?
(3) What is the practical (sounding) range to use artificial harmonics?
Perhaps I found the answer: do not use harmonics above the sounding note of D8 but would never-the-less like to hear your take on this subject.
Thanks again.
