Hi All,
I'm in the process of doing a new orchestral template and I've hit a stumbling block. I've been using Divisimate - for those that don't know, it's an external piece of software that assigns incoming notes to assignable channels/ports in Logic. For example, if you are working on a Big Band arrangement, all you need to do is play a chord, and it will route the lowest note to your Bari Sax, next lowest to your Tenor which is doubled by a trombone, then next note to trumpet, etc..
It's a great tool, but requires you to route the MIDI in to Logic via ports that it creates. You can either go directly in to Divisimate which goes in to Logic, or you can have a dedicated track in Logic that goes in to Divisimate and then back. Either way, you need to use ports as your track inputs; using All causes feedback loops.
I found ways to make everything work really well, until I started trying to implement Articulation sets. For whatever reason, Logic will not do Articulation changes with an Articulation Set correctly if the input is coming from a port. I've got a Launch Pad X set up with all my keyswitch triggers (I'm using Modern Scoring Strings, so Keyswitching is part of the beauty). If I go directly in to the track with the MIDI In Port set to "All" or to the LaunchPad X, it works fine, but if I go through Divisimate, it it registers the CC changes just as, well, CC changes instead of changing the articulation.
Has anyone else encountered this issue, and, if so, does anyone have a workaround or, eve, better yet, a solution?
Cheers,
