Performance Articulations
Performance Articulations let you switch and morph between a stack of articulations on the fly while playing. They can be created from Loaded Articulations, or in the Performance View within the grid.
Add a new Performance Articulation either in the grid, or in Loaded Articulations by clicking on the New Performance Articulation Button. Clicking the newly created Performance Articulation in the list, or double-clicking it in the grid will open it for editing.
rticulations can be added to a Performance Articulation by dragging them in from Loaded Articulations, which will make a copy of it inside the PA without changing the original. You can also drag them from within the grid, as well as directly from the Library View.
To adjust the ranges in which the articulations should react, click on the separator between two articulations, hold the mouse and move the border around. Click and drag the name of a zone within a PA to re-order it within the PA.
You can have an unlimited number of articulations controlled this way.
Below the stack is the dynamics slider, which will react to your assigned dynamics CC, usually CC1.
Switch / XFade
Performance Articulations can switch or crossfade between selected articulations. The Switch/Xfade buttons select which mode is active.
When set to Switch, the chosen control mode will switch between the selected articulations depending on the value sent. Values go from low to high from the bottom through the stack. The active articulation will light up in this mode.
When set to XFade, the chosen control mode will XFade through the selected articulations depending on the value sent. Values go from low to high from the bottom through the stack.
Velocity/CC
Next to it, the Velocity and CC buttons determine, whether the switching/XFade will be done by a MIDI CC (definable in the Options View’s Controller Map as "Performance Articulation CC"), or by keyboard velocity.
If MIDI CC is chosen as the control mode, "CCInput" arrow moving through the stack will show the current CC value.
Important note about range adjustments:
If you are using Velocity mode with velocity-controlled articulations, each articulation's velocity range will be compressed to the range it has within the whole stack.
If, for example, you have two articulations with two velocity layers, instead of both artics having 0-63 and 64-127 for their two layers, they will be Articulation A: 0-63 (so 0-31, 32-63), Articulation B (64-95, 96-127). That way you always have access to all velocity layers.
