A question about Philharmonik -- multi-velocity samples

Just a quick question... Is it true that Miroslav Philharmonik doesn't have multi-velocity sampled notes? That is to say, that it doesn't take advantage of pressure-sensitive keyboards? :?

Thanks.

Yes, it doesn't have velocity-sampling (on all but a few of the patches), but that doesn't mean it doesn't respond to velocity.

This means that you're still going to be able to use velocity to control the volume and timbre of your output, through built-in and tweakable parameters. But since it's not multi-velocity-sampled, it can be a pain getting it to sound natural sometimes, since most techniques for creating natural-sounding and expressive fast sequences require more than one sample per note to work with.

Well, first of all, pressure and velocity are two different things. But, the good news is that not only does Miroslav Philharmonik respond to both pressure and velocity but there are also a number of programming options for things that happen at different velocities such as sample switching in the combi dynamic section or various controls in the macros (that are easy to use). Pressure is also easily adjustable in the 4 macro performance knobs.

Are these features already in ST2 or will they eventually end up there?

Some are but most will eventually end up there.

Here are some tips on using velocity switching for realistic articulations:

Hmm. I thought that multi-velocity patches were what made pressure sensitivity on keyboards possible, but I guess I must have my definitions wrong. So Philharmonik's patches do respond to the pressure at which you strike your keyboard's keys?

Thanks for the replies :!:
