# Universal Matching

Universal Matching allows you to drag a MIDI region from one library to another, and, in theory, the articulation used will instantly match and work. Let me explain what *in theory* means: So far, we’ve done this exclusively for articulations we’ve defined as “the most important” ones:&#x20;

*Sustain, Legato, Marcato, Tremolo, Spiccato, Staccato, Tenuto, Pizzicato, Trill Minor/Major.*

This is because it’s rare for two libraries to be equipped with the same articulations, and the above is a good representation of what’s most likely available. In other words, there is no point in a “match fest” for more exotic arts. <br>

{% hint style="info" %}
Disclaimer: It will not work perfectly in every situation, but it works surprisingly well in many and will save you a ton of time. We found that, in many situations, composers move a region to another library to see if it sounds suits them better. You will undoubtedly have to adjust things, but Universal IDs will help you to make an instant and informed decision.
