Noteman says: An expression intended for use with Human Playback should not include a playback definition - Human Playback looks for the text only. Make sure Type is set to None under the Playback tab of the Expression Designer dialog box. Also, Note-Attached expressions are recommended for keyswitch expressions.
Any instrument with "KS" in its name (as shown in the ScoreManager or ARIA Player) includes alternate sounds relating to a particular performance technique for that instrument. For example, all "KS" string instruments can play in an arco (bowed), pizzicato (plucked), or tremolo (in rapid succession) style. When using Human Playback, text expressions or Smart Shapes can be added to "trigger" these keyswitches as part of Human Playback’s interpretation. Alternatively, you can invoke a keyswitch manually – see Adding keyswitches as expressions.
The following are a list of triggers that can be used to change the playback sound of any GIFF instrument that supports keyswitches. Note that keyswitches reside in the lowest octave for all instruments, well below the range of the instrument (see MIDI note to pitch table for equivalents).
