User manual

You can see which playback techniques are in use at any particular rhythmic position in the
playing techniques lane for the corresponding instrument track.
TIP
● If you have input a playing technique but cannot hear a change in the sound, you might
be using a combination of playback 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 corresponding playback techniques
together if the expression map does not have an entry for those two techniques combined.
To avoid playback technique clashes, you can add playback techniques that cannot be in use
concurrently to the same mutual exclusion group in the corresponding expression maps.
Alternatively, you can create a combination of those playback techniques in order to use
them simultaneously.
●
You can enable independent voice playback for individual instruments to hear different
playing techniques, tremolos, jazz articulations, or articulations in different voices
simultaneously.
