Custom VSTi?

I downloaded the deno version of Notion 3 and have about 7 days left. Though I'm amazed at how simple it can be to set up a score I can't figure out how to make articulation changes. I've been trying it out with UVI Ircam Solo Instruments. I load flute articulations such as staccato, crescendo, flutter-tongue etc.. but I can't figure out how to switch from one to the other. I sense that I'm supposed to create a staff for each articulation in "score setup" & then assign them to channel one (flute). I don't know how to do this, however. Any help would be appreciated.

Too tricky, dma, too tricky.
Try with standard N3 articulations from the tool palette first.
The most common of them works seamlessly with every sound source (eg loading a sustained sound and applying staccato to it).
Consider some of them doesn't work neither with N3 sounds.
Dynamics are also recognized.
I'm myself still learning how to handle keyswitches, but I think this is the good path to follow if you own libraries for wich N3 presest are unavailable.
More experienced users can tell tou more on this.

The Custom VSTi tutorial only shows you how to get one sound working. I know how to do that. I wish they had a tutorial on how to set up several sounds for each instrument.

Btw, I don't want to use the instruments that come with Notion 3. I'm trying to set it up with other samplers like Tascam GVI & UVI.

I think the problem I'm having is although I assign however many flute articulations in my VSTi, I only see one choice when I press "Shift I". So maybe things aren't quite working the way they should.
