The point of my first post was “these guys seem to be trying to make it hard for people to help you.” The only detailed documentation I could find on the web was a pirated copy of what appeared to be the Version 1 manual, and it didn’t talk mention “notation key switches” at all.

Whether you could implement it in Dorico with playing techniques that have a duration, and different actions at the start and end, is an interesting question, but not answerable without a demo version to play with! None of that is how key switches work in notation software like Sibelius or Finale. you can make a note growl for part of its length by pressing and releasing the “growl” key switch as you wish. That may well be a good design for live playing - e.g. Thank you in advance for all help proffered.įrom what scraps of information are on the web, it seems that the “non-notation mode” key switches work by holding down a key on a MIDI keyboard for the duration of the effect you want to produce, and also that some key switches are actually modifiers to other key switches and therefore meant to be used simultaneously (but not necessarily starting and ending at the same point in time). I followed the advice offered here: Īnd, with respect, it made no difference. I have done a search on the forum for similar questions and the only question I could find with regards to the Fable Sounds Broadways Lites instrument VST is essentially unanswered. I have setup an expression map which I have associated with the selected instrument (the Broadway Lites Legato Trumpet) via the end-point setup and it makes no difference. I can confirm that I am working with a single stave, I have selected Kontakt as the playback VST, associated it in Play mode with the single stave (into which I have entered a simple C major scale with alternate notes accented) and yet all I get is basic non-articulated playback. Question: Can any other users of the Broadway Lites (or other Fable Sounds VST instruments) or the Dorico developers/management team please confirm that what Fable Sounds describe as their “Notation Mode” actually works in Dorico? For the life of me I CANNOT get the Broadway Lites instrument VST to respond to articulations entered into Dorico in Write mode.

When in Notation Mode, Broadway LITEs instruments have an alternative notation-software friendly key-switching, and the default key-switching is disabled.” Most notation programs are unable to send the appropriate MIDI triggers to play the correct articulations on Broadway LITEs instruments when not in notation mode. “For those of you who are using notation software (such as Sibelius, Finale, Dorico, etc.) and who wish to use Broadway LITEs sounds for direct playback inside the notation software, we created the “Notation Mode”. Any insight into the following would be appreciated:
