Articulations in playback
Articulations affect how notes sound in playback. Depending on whether your sound library has specific samples for different articulations, Dorico Elements changes playback in different ways to reflect articulations.
-
If your sound library includes samples for articulations, Dorico Elements loads the required samples using playback techniques. Additionally, Dorico Elements makes notes with staccatos sound shorter and notes with accents sound louder.
-
If your sound library does not include samples for articulations, Dorico Elements adjusts notes according to the articulation without loading different samples. For example, making notes with staccatos sound shorter and notes with accents sound louder.
Because articulations apply to whole notes, samples are triggered at the start of notes, including tie chains.
You can enable independent voice playback for individual instruments to hear different sounds in different voices simultaneously; for example, if you have slurs in one voice and staccatos in another voice.
