Articulation map strategy for EastWest Hollywood keyswitch instruments Updated

[Steve Harder]

EW Hollywood Brass have at least two keyswitch patches in every instrument.  Some of the other Hollywood libraries also have keyswitched patches.

This linked article uses Cinematic Strings as an example but the same general technique can be applied to Hollywood.  https://medium.com/pragmatic-sound/how-to-create-expression-maps-for-cinematic-studio-strings-ae8963cf1896

The general strategy would be to  load all of the target keyswitch patches in one instance of Play, each with a different midi channel #.  Then write the Cakewalk articulation map to address specific midi channel.  

This is Play setup for 2 Trumpets

This is Editor for the 2 TP KS Sus patch

This is the editor for the 2TP KS Effects patch

This is the Articulation Lane

Because the articulations in the two patches are exclusive they could all reside in one articulation group.  But I had imported them as 2 groups and I haven't researched how to transfer them into one group in the editor.

You can get a jump start on this by downloading the Cubase exp map for Hollywood Brass from https://arpegiah.com/expression-maps/  You will get a DIR directory and an ATT directory,  Use the DIR directory (even though I accidentally didn't for my print screens.
