Sound Variations in audio files

[Chris75]

I'm using Dorico to write my music and BBC SO Core as my sample library. When I export the audio tracks from Dorico and put them into Studio One, the keyswitches are wrong and I'm getting pizzicato everytime I have staccato or spicatto written. I assumed the audio export would just be the audio that works perfectly in Dorico, but apparently it's keeping the keyswitch information and Studio One is using a different map that doesn't correlate. My question is how can I change the keyswitch map on an audio track to match the keyswitches for BBC SO, I found the templates and downloaded them, I just can't figure out how to put them into Studio One on an audio track.

You're confusing audio and MIDI.

Audio tracks can't have Sound Variations, and audio files never contain any keyswitch data. Never. A wave file will sound identical in any program.

Most certainly sounds like your export is not working properly.
Easy to test. Just play the exported audio in a media player.

I tested it in Apple Music and it plays correctly, it's only when I put it in Studio One that it changes the expressions. It's not a MIDI file, it's a Wav file. I'm at a loss here, any help would be greatly appreciated.

An audio file is an audio file. A wave file imported into any Daw or media player should be identical.
There would have to be either an effect on the track or an import setting that alters the sound.
Regular wave files don’t have the ability to manipulate sound.
Are you sure that you are exporting standard wave format?

That would be IMPOSSIBLE with a wave file. It only represents samples that are taken in a specified amount over time (sample rate) and with certain dynamic representations (bit depth), a wave recording doesn’t „know“ anything about a legato or forte or pianissimo. For a test of your theory you might record your own voice or an instrument with your computer and drag that into Studio One. It should sound the same.

I was wrong, looks like I played the wrong file in Apple Music, it does do the same thing when played outside of Studio One, looks like it is an export problem within Dorico.

Of course. A piano recording on one CD player won’t suddenly turn into a church organ on another.

An audio file is not a MIDI file.
