Hope the subject was clear enough. I hate people who either intentionally or even unintentionally use vague subject lines.

I just upgraded to Sonar 8. Couldn't resist the $50 savings. Nevertheless I'm curious about the new VST3 articulation feature in Cubase. Among other goals I want to pursue learning MIDI mock-up orchestration and this Cubase feature seems like a real productivity enhancer. Instead of multiple tracks to handle the various articulations of an instrument like violin or flute, this allows it all to be done in one track.

The question: For anyone with experience in MIDI orchestration, especially with Sonar, do you think I'm missing out on a lot by using Sonar instead of Cubase? Exactly how much?

Thanks!

Hi Nick-

I'm not answering your question, I know, but to you or anyone: Does Cubase now have a dongle-free demo?

Thanks-

Susan: nope :-)

One more post about the Cubase dongle issue and this thread is officially hijacked

Does the new cubase dongle have thread hi-jacking capability?

Oops i guess it does

In all fairness - he did ask about mock-up orchestrations.

I use EWQLSO.

I run seperate instances of ti for different instruments.

I load up different articulations for each instrument in the EWQL GUI

All articulations for the same instrument are accessible in SONAR on the same MIDI prv screen, all you have to do is change MIDI channel - what could be simpler?

Thread back on track. What is "ti"?

What is "ti"?

It spelled backwards?

so, Is there any way to label the channels name? Or to labels the piano keys with the keyswitches name, similar to the percussion maps?
