I am using Dim Pro to add choir parts to an accompaniment track for the singers to practice with.  I am currently using the Flute V Legato patch for the sopranos, but I need the flute to play down to a Bb.  Currently, Dim Pro won't let the flute play this because (i'm told) it is is out of a real flutes range.  As this is not a composition, I don't care that it is outside of a real flutes range and just want it to trigger the note.  I hae had to switch instruments to the oboe, but that sounds terrible with my accompaniment track.  Is there any way to adjust this range in dim pro?

1).  Find the 'flute v solo.sfz' file.  Mine is in C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Dimension Pro\Multisamples\Garritan Pocket Orchestra\Woodwinds.
 
2).  Open it in a text editor.  Notepad will do.
 
3a).  Add 'lokey=Bb3' to the first <region> line in the file.  It's highlighted in bold below.
 
//-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Woodwinds
// Flute Solo (V)
//
//-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<control>
default_path=Flute Solo Samples\
// First Note
<group>
trigger=first
<region> sample=FluteC4.wav key=c4 lokey=Bb3
...

3b).  If you also want the legato response to go to Bb, add 'lokey=Bb3' to this section (the <group> below it) before you save the .sfz file:
 
...
// Legato Note
<group>
trigger=legato
<region> sample=FluteC4.wav key=c4 offset=5469 lokey=Bb3
... 
  
4).  Save the 'flute v solo.sfz' file in the text editor.  Reopen the 'Flute V Legato' program (.prog) in Dimension Pro.
