1). In Philharmonik 2 correct some of the string sounds. A few are actually out of tune. I have seen this reported on other forums that the strings are out of tune.
2). Also the Nomenclature on some of the key switches have no relation to articulations in the real world. Use Italian. I know that the French use French versions of the Italian articulations because it is written into law not to corrupt the language. Ravel for certain in his scores used French instead of Italian. I think the Germans have the same issue. Don’t quote me. You need to have nomenclatures that match the audience the software is intended for and match those of the DAWs.
Cubase has about 100 different articulations but only a handful match the key switches.
Also make the key switches easy for Cubase to import directly in the software without having to manually adding each articulation. Cubase can access key switches on their own software because in the expression map section it mentions import key switches. If you press import the key switches are automatically added. All you need to do is save as Violin 1.
3). Finally if you do use articulations that are controlled by key switches and you go from piano legato to piano pizzicato you shouldn’t expect a Bump from piano for mezzoforte. When this happenes you need to program cc7 to compensate for the different volumes. If you play piano ie quite you don’t expect the pizzicato to be louder than the previous section. A piano section on a score means that all the articulations should have the same volume. Some do not match the dynamics in the naming that IK have added into ST4 and Philharmonik 2.
