Trillian Key switching

[teleblaster]

I put together my own Key switching patch in Trillian by going directly to the 'Live' screen and installing patches on tracks. (I realize now that there are pre-configured multi-patches that I'll use in the future to get the plumbing setup right). Here's the issue I'm having

I can switch between 4 tracks using C-1 through D#-1 as the key-switch keys. But when I try to trigger with E-1, Trillian plays the sample at that pitch. I suspect that's the bottom of this sample libraries range. Is there a setting or something for telling Trillian that E-1 through G-1 are key-switch keys and not sample playback keys?

Hope the question makes sense. Thanks in advance.

I'm not 100% sure on this since I mostly just use Trilian patches that have built-in articulation switching, for example based on velocity. However, I was curious, so I did a quick search, and it looks like, if you are using Live mode, you can use the MIDI Learn feature to tell it what CCs, notes, or program changes you want to turn on or off certain parts. Here's the manual page on that:

Ya, I did the 'midi note unlearn' and 'midi not learn' multiple times trying to set say E-1 as the key note for an articulation, but everytime I played E-1 Trillian would playback the current articulation at that pitch. I think there has to be a way to set the 'floor' or 'ceiling' for a patch that basically says inside these boundaries are notes and outside are key switches etc. Now that I know to start with a key switching patch (and you have to load it via the topmost folder browser control in the UI BTW) this isn't an issue except that I have one homegrown patch that I'd like to extend. I guess I can save my articulations and load them into a new key-switching patch using the live page.

Trillian and Stylus are such amazing tools, but they're less than intuitive. To be fair to the creators, the deeper tools don't lend themselves to intuition. If you don't use it regularly entropy sets in and you have to re-discover how to do things all over.
