๐Universal 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, weโve done this exclusively for articulations weโve defined as โthe most importantโ ones:
Sustain, Legato, Marcato, Tremolo, Spiccato, Staccato, Tenuto, Pizzicato, Trill Minor/Major.
This is because itโs rare for two libraries to be equipped with the same articulations, and the above is a good representation of whatโs most likely available. In other words, there is no point in a โmatch festโ for more exotic arts.
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.
