::: WHY DO YOU NEED THE AG ARTICULATION SYSTEM :::

• The Logic Art system is limited to 3 MIDI output assignments, which is not enough for many VSL instruments.

• Logic articulation ID triggering is limited to 256 numbers, which is a serious limitation for large VSL instruments.

For example, manual mapping of “Elite Strings”, with 632 articulations, large articulation names, 6 KS, and 2 CC assignments each, is virtually impossible. The AG Logic Track Patches put complete control at your fingertips instantly.

• Sound Variations are 100% converted for Logic Pro, including articulation names and complete MIDI assignments.

• The original Sound Variations folder structure is transformed into linear text with short articulation names.

• Color-grouped prefixes: articulations are re-ordered and grouped by color (Shorts – orange, Longs – red, etc.).

• Articulation number prefixes: essential navigation information for many composers.

• Two Logic articulation switching modes: via Articulation IDs (up to 256) and via automation (no limitations).

• Enhanced Sound Variations: many patches include up to 5 fixed CCs to switch “dead-end” instrument dimensions.

• Next-gen “CC Automator” plugin: humanizes articulations like “vibrato” by adding delay, sliding, and shaking.

• DMG pack with Installer, Uninstaller, etc.: easy, safe, one-click installation of Logic Patches and supporting tools.

::: VOLUME 1 :::

Q: I already own other 3rd-party Logic Articulation Sets for VSL instruments. Do I need to buy AG ones?
A: Technically, Logic’s articulation system is limited to 3 MIDI assignments and 256 IDs, so there are no 3rd-party articulation sets that fully support complex VSL instruments. AG system ignores all limitations by providing full number of enhanced Sound Variations plus the “CC Automator” bonus plugin.

Q: I noted that the new VSL Sound Variations patches for Logic are fixed. Do I need to buy AG X-DAW to make my own optimized “Light” presets?
A: Yes — it’s highly recommended to get the AG X-DAW Articulation Editor, which lets you manage the provided X-DAW presets and create optimized “Light” patches according to your taste.

Q: By now I draw CC automation for some VSL instruments which need dimension switching via CC. Does the new AG “CC Automator” optimize my workflow?
A: The “CC Automator” speeds up your workflow by using fixed CC values assigned in the enhanced AG Presets. Simply choose the desired “enhanced” articulation containing the CC you want to automate, and everything is applied automatically on the fly.

Q: Can I use the “CC Automator” plugin with my existing Logic Articulation Sets?
A: No — Logic’s articulation system resets CC values on every note, which messes up the CC Automator. To work correctly, you need to own the X-DAW and insert the plugin after the AG “Articulation Switcher”, which does not reset or chase CC values.
