Need to change a parameter globally in an articulation map? Remember this.

[Steve Harder]

Want to globally change a parameter in an articulation map without having to visit each instance in the map editor?

Articulation maps (.artmap) are xml files and can be opened with any text editor.

If you've never looked inside an xml they can look daunting.  But spend a little time looking around and you'll be able to find how the parameter you want to change  is stored.  Make the changes you want to one articulation, export the map, open in text editor, find the articulation you changed and see how it differs from all  the others. And then it's just a matter of doing a careful find/replace all. 

Can save a lot of time if every articulation has multiple elements.

@Steve Harder, just to be super-pedantic, the file format is JSON, not XML.

Right you are.  Both of them lived in the same neighborhood but went to different schools.
