    Which kind order you use with keyswitches ? btw is nice i can use only only preforming techniques what i need in current production. i prefer modular way make things.

    There is no one "way" to set up keyswitches - it all depends on how a person prefers to work.  One common general approach is to arrange articulations from short to long, from left to right within a matrix.

    I try to stick as closely as possible to the order in the VSL-provided matrices--and I use the present matrices whenever possible (just disabling uneeded samples to save memory).  The reasons: 1-I can easily remember which switches to use for a given articulation and 2-If I decide to switch from one library to another (e.g., orchestra to chamber) there are usually very few changes needed.

    I make my own matrices with an order loosely based on short to long. I try to keep common articulations on the same keyswitches across all instruments. This did involve a bit of planning - and creating new matrices for each new instrument - last done when the Dimension Strings came out - but now I can quickly audition ideas across instruments and families and have learnt where the common articulations are.

    I thinked opposite way long to short.

    The order is inconsequential .. you will never use my matrices .. it's whether your's relate to one another ...
