Scarbee Jay Bass and PRV

Anyone have experience adding the articulation keyswitches for the Scarbee Bass using PRV?  I'm not very swift with the keyboard and can't hit the keyswitches and notes and still concentrate on the bass line.  Would love to be able to take a loop and edit it in PRV to add keyswitches.  I tried adding the switch note before the played note and and having it last all the way through the played note, but it doesn't seem to work.  I can import one of the loops from the Scarbee site and it plays with articulations and sounds great, but I can't make any sense of what I am seeing in PRV or Event View.

    Until you have a little more experience trying to do it all at once, you could play the bass line in first. Then you can either go back and just record the articulations using overdub in realtime or insert them in stepwrite. You could also create and assign another track on the same channel and use just that channel for articulations. The second suggestion is my favorite because it keeps at least your bass line in tact if there are any problems with the articulations.

    BTW, I use Scarbee Jay-Bass on a regular basis. I don't know if you are using an amp sim to put it through, but I use Audiofex's GK Pro. It is a bass amp sim that gives you all of the bass heads and cabs with stereo mics sanctioned by Gallien-Kreuger! They have a free version if you want to try it. I have the paid and it is worth every cent!

    One thing to watch for, for certain articulations like slides you may also need to choose the string with a key switch.

    Say you are sliding from a C down to G, but because prior notes may have you on the A string. It then has no where to slide to.  Put it on the E string and then it works...

    Just a thought.
