  • Control of Up and Down Bows?

    I've noticed there are many string patches which make use of 2 automatically alternating samples. For many of these it is obvious that one is definitely an up-bow and the other a down-bow.

    I can't figure out how to tell the VI which one to start a phrase with. In the old performance tool, you could reset the alternation during a performance to begin with an up or down bow. You could also specify 2 ups and one down (or vise versa.) which was very helpful for triplet passages.

    Is this functionality missing from the VI? Or did I just not read something correctly?

    I'm trying to do a piece in a fast 12/8 and the rigid up/down bow alternations are really throwing the feel off.

    Any ideas? Thanks!!!

  • Hi,

    the only idea I have at the moment is to insert a brief note with velocity 0 so as to skip the sample you don't want.
