Hi
New to DP.
I use a lot of VSL Synchron and especially the Elite Strings is on of my favorit libraries. This and many other libraries from VSL has an enormous amount of articulations. The ES has more than 200 and the mapping is very troublesome, so any work around is very welcome. But it doesn't seem that Motu has spend a lot of time on developing a user friendly interface here. If I want to color all short articulation blue, I need to select everyone of them and click on the color and select blue. It's the same situation with the symbols, that can be attached to every articulation; you have to do it one by one.

I struggle really hard with DP, and I have been on the same "crusade" before, and now I'm wondering if anyone here at MotuNation has managed to the set-up DP11 and one of those really heavy string libraries with colors, symbols, delays and ...?

By the way I know BabylonWaves and I have their maps for Logic, Cubase and S1, but I don't think they work so well with VSL Synchron series.
Any suggestion, help much appreciated.

I'd take a hard look at Babylon Waves.

I don't know how well Babylon Waves works with Synchron, but it definitely works with DP. With as many articulations as you have to set up, BW could save you a ton of time and would be $90-100 well spent.

Babylon Waves with VSL Elite isn't a good idea at all. Elite have tons of different legatos, sustains, etc whether Babylon Waves provides articulation maps ignoring all possibilities VSL strings offers. The same situation happens for Synchron strings pro, Dimension, etc.

I am curious what you get with the VST3 automatic feature....that came from S1, can't remember what its called. Maybe someone could do that and then export the actual articulation map to use without VST3 and also in order to further modify it depending on what it does.

I haven't gotten around to using this VSL library yet, but I know its complicated but I can't really offer much advice on how to best use articulation manager with it. Can you comment more about the nature of the 200 articulations? What are they and why so many?
