I usually decide on the articulations I want to use first and then set up a track with those articulation
changes already in place.
I do this before I record the new part.
That way the changes happen without me having to trigger or think about them.
I just record the performance right into the existing track with the articulations, then use the glue tool to consolidate them.
Sometimes the articulations DO get stuck though. I hate that and wish I knew how to avoid it.
It seems that when editing in the key editor, you have to pay attention to the acoustic feedback button.
If it is on, I seem to get more stuck articulations, which makes sense. Just selecting one will trigger it and that is usually when it gets stuck. So I am constantly switching the acoustic feedback on and off. Off when I am working on the Articulations and On when dealing with notes.
Sure wish there was a key command for the acoustic feedback on/off.
You can actually see the stuck key on the HSSE keyboard display.
If you click it, it will release.
Sometimes I have to reload a program to get the key switches to react properly,
sometimes just reloading the expression map will fix it.
When inspiration strikes, it sucks if your articulations aren’t behaving.
