Question to articulation mapping of VST libraries in MS4.x

• Aug 25, 2023 - 14:42

When the concept of MS4 has been announced quite a while ago I remember the mentioning of articulation mapping. A VST library usually has a lot of different samples for a single instrument, e.g. staccato, mercato, tremolos, etc which are selected e.g. by key switches.

A Staccato note would be mapped to a different sound sample than a sustained note rather than simply shortening the duration but using the same sample. This would require to have a mapping between instrument / articulation / sound sample.

Is this still on the roadmap?

Thanks,
Robert

Well, MuseScore is free. MuseScore is open-source. MuseScore has an easy-to-use score sharing website (although its usability is rapidly declining). Frankly, these are the only reasons I still use it; I don’t own the full version of Dorico. I should probably stop trying to help MuseScore’s development by comparing it to Dorico. Nobody wants that. There’s no general purpose forum for notation software. I’m missing a lot with Dorico, too! And lots of this stuff is already a thing in MuseScore. I’m very curious what MuseScore’s values are.

That said, I’m thinking about creating my own software with a publishing website.
