    Hello--

    I'm new to the Synchron player though not to audio and midi recording (using Logic to do so). 

    If I load a preset such as 1st violin, it includes many patches (long notes, short notes, legato, etc) with multiple articulations within each. The difficulty I'm having is understanding how to program all the many, many articulations within all that presets patches in the course of a song. 

    Is it more reasonable to use a separate instance of Synchron player for each patch (i.e. one for long notes, one for short, another for legato)? That would require fewer layers of keyswitches/midi ccs etc. But it could also mean many, many instances of Synchron player if the song requires multiple patches of strings, horns, woodwinds, etc.

    I have looked for a text or video explanation but haven't found much addressing this.

    Any advice would be very much appreciated.

    Did you find this recent video tutorial by long-experienced media composer and educator Guy Michelmore? There he's using Synchron libraries (and others) with Cubase but the general template construction principles he addresses also apply largely to any other DAW.

    Thank you so much for the recommendation, Macker. That video gave me an approach that I can build upon. Much appreciated.
