At 2:32, I don't know that it's really accurate to say that slider affects "velocity sensitivity" -- I can see why you might think that, but for the most part, it adjusts volume by adjusting timbre. It's mapped to the mod wheel. So, for example, if you are sustaining a pad or string sound, you can use that to swell or decrease the sound by crossfading into samples that were recorded being played louder. For a lot of instruments, this creates a change in timbre (think brass, as a good example). So, the two faders (the first is mapped to Expression, by default) both give a sense of adjusting the volume, but in different ways, and they work well together to make sustained sounds more realistic and "human" sounding.

I have to agree with Harvey Rothman - our stuff is off line behind one ways transfers. A while back on a different system, I used another plugin like this that required a phone home cookie jar license thing and a few years later went to get it for a remix. Wasn't there. So basically I had MIDI data I had to use with another plug in that didn't quite sound the same. Really sucked when I had to tell the client, "Sorry can't change the performance without changing the sound"

Great tutorial. liked the chord gun tutorial as well. Kenny I want to be able to trigger deferent parts of a midi song by hitting different pads on my edrum kit. So I can repeat the intro or extend the verse or repeat the chorus, I need the looped parts to switch seamlessly. I really liked that little demo song you made for this Demo, maybe you could flesh it out to a full five part song with each part being triggerable by hitting certain midi notes that I could assign to my edrum pads? Just a thought, I am looking for a Musician that could do this and I would buy the tracks and they could be different genres. Any thoughts?

Can anyone help with the following Reaper/Spitfire Audio problem. My Casio 61-key keyboard will not octave shift to reach the instrument's highest/lowest notes. The BBCSO Discover octave slider only moves the display and not the actual key I press. So my lowest keyboard note (C) always only plays in the middle of the Bass instrument's range. My keyboard's "transpose" setting only works when local/speakers is ON...obviously not relevant when working in Reaper. I posted this on the SA Community site but one suggested it was a Reaper issue, not BBCSO. Any ideas?? Thanks.

All due respect to Kenny and his vast knowledge of Reaper and media production, but because of his very unusual way of speaking, I usually have to turn off the sound and follow along with just the video. Where I live we once had a newsreader who also couldn't get voice inflection right. And the harder he tried to be expressive the worse it was. Many statements sounded like questions and he would often emphasise the incorrect word in a sentence resulting in an entirely different meaning. In the end they took him off and he went onto a fine career in another field.
