Mikael Baggström thank you...... That whatvi searched. Simple explaining. Great to see this
Yeah Man! I kind of already thought you were the Man...but now I KNOW you are THE Man...man!!! Great video. Helped me relax a lot as I'm trying to integrate in to the world of sample libraries from Spitfire, O.T., etc. Mercy Buckets!
Great lesson!! Short and easy to understand, very practical. Thanks!
Hello Mikael. I'm a Brazilian musician/producer and Logic user since LOGIC 3 (from old Emagic).
I'm an expert Logic trainer also. Congratulations for your TH-cam channel. I'll definitely keep in touch. Regards!
Awesome job on explaining this. Thanks so much
Perfect explanation. Many thanks
Thank you. Thank you Thank you. This video has helped me tremendously. Much appreciated.
Thank you, thank you!. I did my first ever dive into using articulations today. Your video came up, and as luck would have it, needed to control Emotive Strings in NI Kontakt. Just WOW amazing results now.
Thanks, very helpful.
In just a few minutes you have shared some valuable information. It helped me instantly! Thank you and God Bless you!!!!!
Thanks again this was really good trick to learn.
Great video!
BRILLIANT!!! Thank You so much...
Another great video, Mike. Thank you!
Thanks Jesse, there seems to always be yet another thing to learn in this amazing DAW haha =)
Sincerely,
Mike
Simply Top! Thanks man
Thank you kind Sir. This is very helpful.
And your video: super useful, super clear, super important. Thank you!
Hey Midiland, thank you so much! =)
Sincerely,
Mike
Super Handy Feature. Thanks
Somehow I was completely unaware of this until now, but this is good to know!
Very helpful video. Thank you. I'm currently assessing whether to move from key switches to articulation sets. To experiment on it, I thought to adapt one of Logic's existing articulation sets (Studio Horns Section) to one of my ensemble brass patches from another library. That saved me a bunch of steps (you must ensure to use the "Save As" command with a new name in the articulation set pop-up so as to not overwrite the existing set).
Wooooow big thx Mike!
it was amazing thank uuu
Maaaaan, that tip earn you my subscription!
useful for me thank you~!
Hi Mike:Just found your tutorial.Yes I really like this one instead of using 4 or 5 tracks for strings you can use one.Great Video. I hear the difference in my strings already.Thanks.
Really usefull, amazing tutorial
Thanks. You can also check out my new video on the Art Conductor product which was a game changer for me personally. :)

You are a legend!
Amazing video Thank you! Instead of applying a key switch to a note can I apply it to a button on my midi keyboard instead?
Thank you so much! What’s the switches tab for? I noticed you used the Articulations and Output tabs but not that.
Thank you
I found this video a while back and I just have to say that it has been such a time-saver. Thanks for this! (I sometimes find that after I start applying articulations, I get notes that won't play, so I tend to add an articulation called "NONE" that is set to "note off" and that seems to clear things up.)
Thank you Travis, I'm glad to hear that. I'm sure you know already, but I have a whole "masterclass" series on Logic Pro X on TH-cam: th-cam.com/play/PLbvz3L5TqIyyNfe2CZPyKH74X9a9SOckc.html
This is terrific, and a certain help to my work. Thanks, I am subscribing to your channels. ( I do have one or two questions about this method )
Thank you Wesley, yes I agree this feature was a really nice add in Logic. And thank you for subscribing, there will be more Logic Pro X videos coming soon. =)
Super bro....god bless
Awesome
Thanks for this video - are these articulations saved in the midi region upon export?
Making your own articulation IDs. Brilliant! I did not know that. It's gonna take me years to do it for all my plugins.
It's brand new as a feature in Logic Pro X 10.4. Amazing, I have wanted this for years! =)
Apparently someone already did it for you, I got this recommend, not affiliated: www.babylonwaves.com/logic-pro
But it might be worth it. Still early so not all libraries are in there.
Thanks Mike, unfortunately I don't have any of the libraries mentioned. Never mind. It will keep me busy.
Hallelujah! I have been searching for a video that explained this part of the process to me in a way I could easily follow and replicate! THANK you! At last, the missing link in all this!
I’m glad it helped you out. Back to composing music now. :)
Much Appreciate your videos.
Professional, concise and clear to understand...although sometimes a bit too fast...e.g. I don't know how you were able to scroll down and quickly "copy/paste "Note-Off" on all the articulations Output window in your video.
I do have one very important question....Is it possible to configure the output so that the articulations will show up in the score as well? This will save EONS of time in score editing afterwards. e.g. the Trill sign, the pizz "." sign, the glissando sign etc..... This way they appear automatically in the score. THanks a bunch.
Hola Mikael, I have a question. Perhaps you can help me on this. Logic Horns comes with articulation sets already prepared. For the trumpets, there are a few articulations on trumpet 1 that are not present on trumpets 2, 3 and 4. My question is. Is it possible to edit the articulation set of trumpet 2, for example, and add new articulations present on Trumpet 1? Or is it necessary to create an script? All the best.
Hours saved going forward. Great tip! Maybe in future updates Logic will do some of this automatically, but at least once you do it once, it's there. Great for stuff like Orange Tree Samples where it can be applied across several instruments.
I don't quite understand. Besides, I can't really afford that plugin, is there a way to do this with stock plugins in Logic?
Thanks! But how to change articulation quickly for studio strings?
Very cool.
Thanks, glad you appreciated my video tutorial. I have a full series of tips, trick and tutorials on Logic Pro X, so feel free to check them out on my channel. =)
Sincerely,
Mike
I have created a custom articulation set on all my tracks, but for some reason I cannot get the articulations to respond on a specific track.
Do I have to delete that track and create a NEW custom articulation set for that one track?
When I load up the instrument (same string instrument you are using in the video) I'm not seeing (in the side window) the drop down menu for the articulation selection. How do I turn it on? You don't go over this in your video.
AWESOME vid !! ... Thanx
QQ: Is this basically the same set up for Spitfire libraries ??
as in " Originals" and their "Albion" (and similar) collections ?
just starting with Spitfire ... love the libraries ... a lil on the $$ side
The company are NOT the fastest in an inquired response either ...
I sent them an email with this very same question about a week ago ...
Thx ... ~tF
hello, sorry if I allow myself. I'm having a strange problem with the frequent, in practice, they are suddenly scarce and some numbers have come out. I cannot understand how this problem came about. Is there any way to make them reappear? I tried to redo the track, they appeared for a moment but after a while, they disappeared again.
How come Tremolo articulation doesn't show in my Flute instrument? I want to add a trill to it.
Hi Mike - Maybe you can help with this? - I'm working on a big band score and each voice / instrument is in a different track. When I want to change the articulation of each instrument (when viewing them all together in one single piano roll) I can't find a way to do this without going to each track individually and editing them one by one to be, say... a medium brass 'fall'. Am I missing something? The articulation window is greyed out. Any Idea? Thanks in advance....
Hello Brendan, please join my Logic Pro X Facebook Group here, and ask the same question there. Preferably including a screen recording or screenshots to show the issue. :)

What is the effect of doing this? Does it mean an articulation is assigned to a note for an instrument so this note cannot be played with another articulation during your live performance? Or does it mean you have to take unused keys on your keyboard to press simultaneously with another key to apply the articulation to it?
Great....Joe from Staten Island
on logic articulation set changes to the first articulation of the list (C2 - staccato for example) every time I stop the playback. I need to recall the articulation during recording or playback. Anyone knows this problem and how to solve it?
How to map Logic's native virtual instruments? Only Strings and Horns semm to have this new feature set of articulations. I would like to do the same with EXS24 bass guitars...how can I do it? Is it really possible?
Hello Axel,
No, only Strings and Horns have articulations in the stock Logic instruments.
Sincerely,
Mike
Wonderful video, thank you sir.
I'm having trouble applying this method using other 3rd party libraries (Spitfire and Play).
Cannot find the F3 etc.
That is strange, I’ve had no trouble with my third-party libraries. But I don’t own spitfire or east west products. Hey, you might want to Join and ask advice on this in my Logic Pro X for Professionals Facebook Group: facebook.com/groups/151841268940937/
Friendly regards,

Found a work around, basically I :
1. Created custom key switches
2. Followed method in this video
works well so far.
Hello.. Thanks for the video! I've tried to create a new set for the "Versillian Chamber Orchestra 2", VSCO2, and I followed the instructions, created a new table and tried to select each note and set a different articulation. It does not seem to work. It works perfectly with the stock orchestras. I think when you select a particular articulation then it should show in the instrument itself that this articulation has been selected, but this does not happen. I am on the latest logic update. Any idea what could be wrong?
Not only that, but the orchestra contains many instruments and sections, each with its own unique articulation, i.e. each one needs a set of articulations defined for it. Is this really practical??
I bought a product called art conductor so I don’t have to map manually any more. I recommend checking it out.
Sincerely
Mike
but how to switch it in playback
Anyone know why my Logic X has not all the articulations?
I want to create an articulation set for VSL Dimension Strings but it doesn't offer enough multiple outputs! 1st Violins - All Player requires at least four outputs: All Players:Senza Sordino:Short Notes:Staccato for example. How do I mange creating an articulation set in Logic for a patch with four layers like this?
Hello Michael,
I have actually not figured it out for my own VSL libraries. Perhaps the articulation pack that Babylonwaves created have solved this? Send them an email and ask: www.babylonwaves.com
Sincerely
Mike
@@mikaelbaggstrom I contacted them and they also have no solution.
Dear Peak Eleven,
thank you so much for your video which helps me a lot. Did you forget to give the solution for the problem #2 ? I can't find it in the video...
It would be really helpful to know how to manage this issue.
As you said, in my mockups, it seems that every articulation changes has to be played once before reading the correct one.
If not, the last articulation is played.
I'm using Logic Pro 10.4.1 on high Sierra with a Macbook Pro (16gb RAM - 1to SSD).
Would you have any idea how to fix this?
Best regards and thank you again for your video!
The solution IS Articulation IDs; what the video is about. Just follow his direction. Sounds like you're using keyswitches.
I Love You
I'm glad you appreciated the tutorial Alejandro. =)
Sincerely,
Mike
Thanks to Mikael Baggström and Guy Michelmore and there Channels I started my composing career!
That's great Max (may I call you Max?). Ah, yes Guy is amazing. =)

Mike
@@mikaelbaggstrom So you earn a living with composing and online workshops/TH-cam ? ;)
Every little bit counts! ;)
Never get stuck on only one path in life, that is my advice. :)

What am I doing wrong? It is not working for me. I am using a third party instrument (Vienna Instruments Pro) and following your instructions and the articulations are not changing.
I'm having the same problem with VIPro.
VSL allocates the MIDI notes an 8ve higher. If it says C1 on your VI instance you need to change the articulation set ID in your DAW an 8ve lower to C0.
you used to do that simply by using the ModWheel. How is this an improvement?
This doesnt work for me
this feature actually sucks horribly compared to the REALTIME articulation changes you could do with previous versions. But you're getting your ad money, so it's a good feature, right?
this works in realtime, also. don't be misleading if you don't understand.
it sounds still stupid, even sul ponticello is missing
This isn't a practical solution when you consider that an orchestral piece can have hundreds of bars. Such a childish solution!
Hello Babak, well this is not my solution. It is the standard the Kontakt libraries and all sample libraries of orchestral instruments have been using for years: Key switching. I think setting the articulation per note is still much better than having lots of "extra notes" in the piano roll that represent each articulation change, don't you agree?
Sincerely,
Mike
