Dorico percussion maps: problem with snare roll dynamic changes

[frave]

Hi,

i have a problem making dynamic changes during a snare drum roll to work (see example). I'm using the Synchron-ized Expression Maps (Percussion map: VSL SYzd SE - Snare Drum)

 

When i:

use the 35 Synchron Percussion > 03 Synchron Snare Drum

• with Vel.XF disabled: plays the initial volume but obviously no cresc./decresc.
• with Vel.XF enabled: plays the roll totally unaffected by the written dynamic or a manual change of the Vel.XF controller

use the 31 Percussion > Drums

• with Vel.XF disabled: plays the initial volume but obviously no cresc./decresc.
• with Vel.XF enabled: plays the roll in the dynamic set by the controller and can be manipulated by dragging the controller, but doesn't seem to get any instruction from Dorico.

Do i something wrong?

Thanks
frave

Hello frave!

The patch SYNCHRON-ized Special Editions/35 Synchron Percussion/03 Syncrhon Snare drum is not prepeared for Velocity XFade. Please note that this patch is an extract of the Synchron Percussion I snare drum with only a few articulations. The full version includes rolls with two different Velocity XFade modes. One for making a crossfade and one for selecting the dynamic layer. The one that has been taken for the SYNCHRON-ized Special Edition is the one for selecting the dynamic layer. If you want to make dynamic snare drum rolls, please load the following SYNCHRON-ized Special Edition preset: 31 Percussion\02 Drums. Then enable Vel.XF.

Best regards,
Andi

Hi Andi,

i tried that already. I can confirm that i can change the dynamic of the 31 Percussion\02 Drums by dragging the Vel.XF controller manually, but it does not get changed automatically by the dynamics written in Dorico.

Kind regards

Hi fraves!

You are right. This is not set up in the "Default" Expression Map. You can do that quickly by going to the Expression Maps menu. Select "Default"/Type: Base. Activate "Use Secondary dynamic" and select "Control change 2". I'll think about making a change for future versions where this is implemented automatically.

Best regards,
Andi
