i see. 

i think ill have to write my own notiation sequenzer which does work like i want to have it to work  ;)

hmm i think i have found a kinda usefull way..

i tried the correction on the file and to creat a midi and loopback and so on. first i thought it worked, but it doesn´t... could the problem relies on that i use windows 7 and notion ?

i did everything like you discribed. even the restart

Hi Ralf!

I also tried it on Windows 7 and it worked. Can you explain in detail what exactly doesn't work for you?

Andi

the articulation switch does not work.  i put into some notes and tried staccti and some other things.  but the vienna player in mir dont change the articulations.

done :1) Copy the file \Notion 3\Support\PluginData\VSL\Rules\VSL_Instruments.prules and rename the copy to VSL_Instruments_MIDI-Out.prules
done : 2) Open the file VSL_Instruments_MIDI-Out.prules with a text editor.
done: 3) Change the entry <plugin id="1448299603"> to <midi-out id=”A”> and the entry </plugin> at the end of the file to </midi-out>.
done: 4) Restart your computer
done: 5) Open Notion and all VSL instruments, that you want to use.
done: 6) Save all VI presets, that you want to use with MIR to your VSL Custom Data folder.
done: 7) Close this Notion project and start a new one.

-------------
done( i created one but how does Notions know wich soundsets it has to use ? ) 8) Create External MIDI instruments

-------------

done 9) In the Notion Preferences set a MIDI Loopback device as MIDI Output Port A
done 10) In MIR load the VI presets, you have saved earlier.

 maybe we forgot something to do ?

OK, so you have loaded the Notion VI presets in MIR and the communication between Notion and MIR over the MIDI loopback device works (notes are played). The only thing that doesn't work is the articulation switches. Is that right?

I have been wondering myself how Notion knows which rules to take for switching, if it doesn't know which instrument is controlled over the external MIDI connection. As most of their VI presets are constructed the same way, I guess it shouldn't make that much difference. ;-)

I tried it with violin ensemble and staccato, sus and legato articulations. That worked. Unfortunately I can't make any more tests until December 30th, when I'm back in the office.

Best,
Andi

:) ok then i will wait till you back to the office

merry christmas tomorrow :)

Hello Ralf!

I tried it again today with two instruments (Orchestral Violins and Flute 1) and 5 articulations (sus, staccato, legato, trills, pizz) and everything worked fine. The switch to the staccato articulation and back is very quick, so it can't be seen, but it can be heard.

Does any articulation change work on your machine? It seems to me, that you have done everything right.

Best,
Andi

i tried it sometimes again and it doesnt work :/ i have no idea what i did wrong 

Andi,
