i just stumbled across this announcement - this product is in beta stage:

"AMP - Articulation Mapping Processor
FX-MAX.com with Ian Livingstone and Dean Evans pleased to introduce a revolutionary program that lightens the laborious engineering work involved in digital scoring and arranging.

AMP uses a rules system that allows the composer/arranger to define how their instrument and articulations are triggered. For example, when you play a midi note, information based on midi length, velocity, cc# data (whatever you wish) can be pre-defined to trigger an appropriate instrument or articulation without the need for you to use a seperate midi channel within your sequencer. AMP handles this for you and dynamically chooses which midi channel it plays within your sampler.

AMP will include a large rule library (constantly expanding and downloadable) based on the majority of the major sample libraries and sample playback products (eg. VSL, EWQLSO, Project SAM, Garritan, Sonic Implants, Dan Dean, NSGs etc). As these rules are simple text files they can freely be downloadable. Rules can be stacked and tiered to allow an near infinite amount of rules and possibilities for ultimate user flexibility. Tiered based rules system allows you the composer to define exactly how your instruments are triggered. Use only one midi sequencer track to control a range of instrument articulations. Compatible with all audio libraries as you define the rules. Increased productivity as AMP manages your instrument banks dynamically Realtime instrument/articulation switching."

so basically this is some kind of generic version of stuff like the vienna articulation tool.

nice.

there is a beta test for anyone interested:

"AMP is in beta stage now. Interested parties can contact us at ampbeta@fx-max.com"

as far as i read in their forum, it is a midi plugin.

This tool will exist in various flavours.

One of the flavour is MIDI plug-in (Cubase SX, Nuendo and SONAR) - runs as MIDI track insert and compatible with both VSTi/Teleported VSTi and hardware MIDI outputs.

Another flavour is VSTi/AU wrapper - it will require you to wrap a VSTi (like with FX Freeze) and then you'll run wrapped VSTi with AMP embedded.

Standalone tool can also be an option, but with GVA or Giga 3 Rewire, it may be not very nessesary, will see.

On the subject of Articulation Tools, Is there a way of linking the Vienna Symphony Library to Cubase SX. I operate the samples through Halion 2 but cant get the Performance Tool to link in. In the manual it tells you how to do it with GigaStudio but not anything else.

Can anyone help?

I found this tutorial that might be helpful:

you really should consider applying for the beta test, as this tool is supposed to support gpo and eastwest silver...wow.

This is awesome. I was just about to post a question about using the multiple articulations in the Orkester sound bank and the best way to impliment it. I definately requested to betatest.

This would help me out in school soooo much. I wonder if it will be possible to translate a host's score markings into program changes ???

you might want to ask that in their forum - unless there are already beta testers around over here?

i applied either, could not resist
