6 Techniques list
Contains a list of playback playing techniques for the expression map currently selected.
In simple cases, entries in the Techniques list are individual playback playing techniques,
such as
Staccato or Accent. However, it is possible to combine multiple playback playing
techniques for plug-ins that have separate samples for different combinations of playback
playing techniques. For example, Staccato + Accent might require a separate set of key
switches to Staccato and Accent individually.
NOTE
Most instruments have a “natural” playback playing technique, which is the most common
way of playing the instrument. Dorico SE requires every instrument to have a dened natural
playback playing technique.
Selecting a playback playing technique in the Techniques list allows you to edit its controls
and actions.
The action bar at the bottom of the list contains the following options:
●
Add Technique: Allows you to add a new playback playing technique or combination of
playback playing techniques to the expression map from the available playback playing
techniques in the Playing Technique Combinations dialog.
