playing technique applied either remains the same as the previous playback playing technique or

reverts to the natural playback playing technique.

Custom playing techniques that use playback playing techniques which do not already exist in

expression maps do not play back automatically. In order for them to play back appropriately,

you must add them to the expression maps for each instrument for which you want to use them.

You must also assign an action for each custom playing technique that determines how the

switch required to execute the technique is controlled.

You can map playback playing techniques as required for different sound libraries in the

Expression Maps dialog, including creating new combinations of existing playback playing

techniques, such as

Legato and Tremolo, which allows them to be used simultaneously.

You can see which playing techniques are in use at any particular rhythmic position in the

Playing Techniques lane, which you can show by expanding individual instruments in Play

mode.

TIP

●

If you have input a playing technique but cannot hear a change in the sound, you might be

using a combination of playing techniques that the expression map does not expect. For

example, if you input a new playing technique without cancelling an existing playing

technique, the expression map cannot process the two playing techniques together if the

expression map does not have an entry for those two techniques combined.

To avoid playing technique clashes, input a “naturale”, or “nat.”, playing technique to return

the software instrument to its natural state. You can then input new playing techniques

without clashes. Alternatively, you can create a combination of those playing techniques in

order to use them simultaneously.

● You can enable independent voice playback for individual instruments to hear different

playing techniques in different voices simultaneously.
