Question

Currently, only MIDI channel 1 receives true continuous dynamic data.  Dynamic changes will be sent to chennels 2 - 16, but only at the beginning of each note.  

See this thread for an example (https://forums.presonus.com/viewtopic.php?f=167&t=748&p=30662#p30662).

Answer 1

Thank you for the request.

Answer 2

Is this true?  So I am wasting my time recording CC data in my Notion scores?

Answer 3

CC only works for dynamics (hairpins work, too), but it's strictly linear and only completely works with channel 1.

Answer 4

Yes, Is a must.

Answer 5

This would be definitively VERY useful.

For now, when I use the East West Hollywood Orchestra (and Hollywood Strings for example), I must use different staves for different articulations which use CC data for controlling the loudness of the sound (crescendos for example). So I have one staff for violins I Legato, one staff for violins I trills, one staff for violins I tremolo, etc. and the same principle applies to all the other sections (strings, but brass and woodwinds too). This makes the score not very clear and this is not a very practical way to work.

So for me this is a VERY important one, if not THE MOST IMPORTANT feature I would like to see in Notion.

Answer 6

Finale Human Playback suffers the very same problem.

If you assign Layers 1-4 to 4 different MIDI Channels-Instruments, e.g. in Kontakt, the expression/articulation marks will be played only on channel 1, and I never understood why.

Answer 7

SO THIS is why my trombones and horns are ignoring my hairpins. Wow....

This is a horrible problem that needs a fix ASAP! Top 1 priority.

Answer 8

Hello Philip,
This is now fixed in Notion 6.1.1 (build 427) - please check it out, and let us know if it is now working as expected.
