I am having a very frustrating time with Sound Variations and the otherwise very beautiful Cinesamples CineStrings SOLO instruments and the composition of a string quartet which demands varying articulations changing much of the time (of course).
I decided to make up some Sound Variations from the Keyswitches that I would normally use as entered notes way down (or up) in the Note Editor - the familiar way.
So, in S1's Sound Variations Editor lane, when I change the Sound Variation for a given instrument at a point in the score, BOTH the samples of the previous SV triggered AND the current desired triggered SV are sounding at the same time. An example from my current case: changing to Spicatto from a Legato articulation and BOTH articulations sound. The Legato articulation/sample persists, no matter what new articulation is called on, and it persists layered with the desired articulation, which I didn't even think was possible.
This does NOT happen when applying the articulations via the old fashioned keyswitch method nor when simply performing from the keyboard hitting the keyswitch note triggers as needed.
I did eventually discover that unchecking the "Default Score Variation" check box for the Legato articulations (the natural default in each of them) in the instruments would correct this behavior, but only for a few rounds of playback. Eventually the double layered articulations creep back in! The consistency, I guess, is if Legato has sounded, it will continue to sound with all new SV triggered sounds.
What even could be going on here??
It is not even possible to willingly cause two articulations to sound simultaneously (by holding two keyswitches down at the same time, for example), so yeah... Bizarre.
[For anyone geekily familiar with CineStrings SOLO, yes there is a programmatic layered articulation choice inside the CineStrings instrument settings to trigger an attack articulation (i.e. marcato) on top of a high-velocity-filtered legato note, but that is thoroughly controllable within those settings and is not what is going on here.]
I realize this is a niche problem, but if anyone else is in this niche, I'd be much obliged......
Needless to say, it renders Sound Variations useless for, in this case, CineStrings where it could be of such use.
