Virtual Playing Orchestra - official release

[Samulis]

Now that you've explained how it works, it makes a lot more sense to me, Paul.

What is the difference between a hard key press/soft key press (velocity) on a low expression and a high expression? My concern is that the key velocity will get in the way of the crossfading- or does key velocity not matter because you don't even define it? I have to go on another "opcode safari" and try to figure out if it's possible to repurpose key velocity to other things... on the Pro Edition, we had lower key velocities create a slight attack fade while higher ones were the straight attack. This is superbly playable, in particular with strings- you can get such a range of notes and it is very intuitive.

The way I have it set up, key press velocity only affects volume. It has no effect on which samples play. The CC#11 only affects cross fade. It has full control over which sample plays. I can play the low velocity samples loudly, by a hard keypress and low CC#11 setting or I can softly play the high velocity samples with a soft key press and a high CC#11.

That's an interesting idea. I can think of a way to make that work even by re-using a single velocity layer worth of samples. It's so temping to go back and add that to all the patches I already have. Maybe that's something for a version 3.0 otherwise I'll never stop tweaking version 2.0.
