    Hello

    I have made an Environment for Logic that allows to use program changes instead of key switches to change articulation.
    Today this environment is working with QLSO but I am ready to make a version for VSL if I can trade this with VSL

    1) What does it do :
    - Instead of entering articulation changes with a note you use a program changes [[[[[[[[[[[:D]]]]]]]]]]]
    - You do not have to remember the articulation names as they appear in the Logic instrument [[[[[[[[[[[:D]]]]]]]]]]]
    - The Score is not showing the Articulation notes (I hope that Emagic will allow soon to display program changes in the score, so the articulation will display with there names in the score) [[[[[[[[[[[:D]]]]]]]]]]]
    - Volume control (CC#7) is converted to CC#11 so you can control each instrument of the Kontakt multi
    - Pan (CC#10) is filtered so it does not change the panning of the Kontakt multi [[[[[[[[[[[:D]]]]]]]]]]]
    - GM program changes (Staccato,Legato and Pizz) are converted automatically to articulation changes [[[[[[[[[[[:D]]]]]]]]]]]
    - The demo version only includes the Solo violin and the Solo Cello
    - The full version include all the instruments of the orchestra (see at the end of the document in the zip file) so you have a full orchestra with most of the articulations under your finger tips [[[[[[[[[[[:D]]]]]]]]]]] [[[[[[[[[[[:D]]]]]]]]]]] [[[[[[[[[[[:D]]]]]]]]]]] [[[[[[[[[[[:D]]]]]]]]]]] [[[[[[[[[[[:D]]]]]]]]]]]
    - The full version also includes programmable UP/DOWN bow for the strings ; they can be either automatic or manual [[[[[[[[[[[:D]]]]]]]]]]]

    You will find the file "ProgQLSO.zip" at : http://perso.wanadoo.fr/cyril.blanc/progqlso.zip

    As a VSL user you will not be able to load the Multi and play the song but it will show you what you can do

    Are you using program changes in Kontakt? How is this done?

    I map articulation changes with program changes

    Look in the Logic song provided

    Fresh News :

    - Now there is a QSLO player and a Kontakt player of the demonstration version
    - Each percussion instrument are mapped so you do not need to read the manual to find out the articulation you need


    If you want to use the QLSO with the Kontakt player please download: http://perso.wanadoo.fr/cyril.blanc/progqlso.zip

    If you want to use the QLSO player (SO....) please download : http://perso.wanadoo.fr/cyril.blanc/progqlsokompakt.zip

    Sorry, Cyril, I should have mentioned that I'm a DP user (otherwise I would have done my homework and dug into your song file before I asked). I've set up a similar template using prog changes in Giga, but would like to use Kontakt as well. The only problem seems to be that it doesn't recognize program changes - or does it? I wonder if you wouldn't mind providing a little more detail...

    Sorry I did not answer before but I did not receive a mail about your reply
    Moderator ; can you have a look.

    I dont know DP ; sorry

    What I have made is only working with Logic, as I convert on the fly prg changes to articulation changes so the articulation notes does not display in the score

    I have spend a lot of time on this ! it was fun but hell
