I have noticed in the new Jazz Kit that when the cup mute technique is applied to any instrument that supports it, no other new technique (including "open") will take effect until the cup mute technique is cancelled with "normale".

Has anyone else encountered this bug?

I'm no Patrick Harrild, but I can sustain the same notes on my tuba for much much longer without taking a breath. I agree 100% that *any* wind player sustain a note for more than 5-6 seconds, especially at softer volumes! What I find interesting is that all Notion 2 wind sounds were looped, while N...

Yes, indeed. A little "oomph" might be okay, but there is definitely *too* much "bite" to the staccato sound.

Is there anyway that we can create a rules file for the N3 sounds? In particular, I'd like to change the default durations on staccato notes, which are *far* too short, as opposed to N2 staccatos, which were more realistic sounding.

Thnx!

There are indeed a number of problems with the reeds, even the new versions, and these problems have existed since the initial release. Yes, reeds (and, I think, some brass) do not loop like N2 sounds did (trust me, wind players can sustain a note for more than 5-6 seconds). What is equally frustrat...

Efulian,

Hmmm. Are you implying that one can connect to a VST plug-in loaded into N3 via External Midi staffs? If so, just how would one do that?

Thnx,

DrH

pcartwright: Unfortuately, the plugin-id identifies only the plug-in (Kontakt 2/3, etc.) and *not* the indivual instrstuments that might be loaded into it or added to a Notion 3 score. If you look at at the Aria_gpo rules file, you'll see that there is a condition that tests the instrument to which ...

Kyle, Thanks! I went to YouTube and watched them there. Because the tutorial's create global rules for all instruments, what's missing is how to create rules for specific intruments in a library. For example, Garritan VSTi's do not allow for changing keyswitch settings like VSL (as was demonstrated ...

I am having problems running the tutorials. When I go to the tutotials page, my browser (Explorer 7) shows the dreaded Errors icon, and when I click on a tutorial (any of them), a get the audible click feedback, but the tutorials do not fire up. I did not have this problem with the old page. Any tho...

Erufailon, I tried your "not with mute" suggestion, and I think I've discovered a glitch in N3. Simply put, it appears that N3 does not internally recognize special mute markings like straight, cup, harmon, and bucket (all of which I use with my Garritan JABB brass instruments) as actual m...
