Problems with delay per articulation feature.

[Nigel Simmons]

I've experimented with this negative delay per articulation feature, and I cannot get it to work right. I'm trying to add negative delay in articulation maps for Cinematic Studio Strings that I've successfully worked with in the past.

1. The velocity of notes are incorrectly playing very quietly (even if velocity is at 127) during the first few notes of a phrase within a new articulation.

2. When a phrase is played within an articulation, the last note of the phrase isn't played.

3. New articulations aren't being triggered, or will trigger well beyond when they're supposed to.

Anyone else try to use this feature? Have you used it with any success?

Just some suggestions. I have not used the negative delay feature but I have used articulations. Make sure you don't have any Continuous Controller (Expression) lanes that would make the velocity sound low. 

Maybe check the reference guide for suggestions.

I've tried everything. I'm guessing the feature is just buggy. I've tried to check the documentation and images are not displaying, neither on my computer nor on my phone. It's all very maddening.

I tried a simple piano phrase and a staccato string phase on a second track with an articulation with a -300ms delay  on each track here and this played fine.

All notes on both track played with their correct respective velocities and controllers ( I used CC10 on the string track to alternate the string panning as part of the test)

Synths used Arturia Piano V3 and 8DIO Strings anthology. 

The articulation map started before any MIDI events in their respective tracks and the  articulation map durations were for their entire respective phrases.

This is with the latest Sonar 2025.7 build 63

If that's on the legacy.cakewalk.com site, you'll need to force your browser to view the pages as http, not https.  Don't know why that works, but it does.
