Hi,
OK, this was a bit tricky but I figured out what's happening with regards to the Legato Keyswitch not latching.
If I click on the Legato button, (not use the Keyswitch D#1) to enable it, it stays latched, even when I change the articulations via the keyswitches. But if I enable Legato using the D#1 Keyswitch it is just a momentary switch for the legato, and is disabled once you release the Keyswitch.
I assigned the Legato Button to a CC number on my controller, to enable it, this will keep it latched.
Hope this is helpful.
Cheers,
Muziksculp

Hi Muziksculp,
The articulations at the bottom were meant for people who would like to set the instrument to a single articulation, for instance if they set tracks to different articulations. This isn't how I normally work, but while working on Amadeus Symphonic Orchestra I learned that this was the preferred method of some composers. The bottom articulation buttons therefore override everything else. My thinking (possibly faulty) was that people will choose to use either key switches to change articulations OR just set them to one articulation per instance.
The Legato key switch will un-latch the Legato button. If you are using the Legato for normal playing, the articulation key switches will not cancel the Legato, and as soon as you release the articulation key switch the Legato is still on.
There are certainly many ways to configure this, and I am always open to alternatives. One possibility is to have a choice between momentary and latching key switches.

Yes, that would be a nice option to have.
Thanks for your helpful feedback, and wonderful Fiddle library.
I might have a few other questions as I spend more time using the library, I will post them on this thread.
Cheers,

Thank-you for doing that. There was indeed a problem that was brought to our attention yesterday morning, and we fixed the unruly envelope settings and updated the file. Then we sent the updated file to customers who had already purchased the library. I completely forgot about the videos, so thank-you for bringing that to our attention. I have updated the videos as well.
The regular price will be $69 after October 31.

Bluegrass and country styles for sure. I’ll have to try some fast Celtic, but this is a great sounding fiddle.

Our fiddle features Brian Goodpaster, who plays mainly in country and bluegrass styles, so that is the focus of the library. The demos are in country/bluegrass styles because those are the styles I was studying during development. However, I'd be glad to try a demo in another style if you post a link to a style you'd like to hear.

Hi, sounds really great. I may have missed it, but I did not see use of modwheel or CC1 in the demos. In the walkthrough, CC11 is mentioned for expression. Could you comment on whether there are dynamic layers? And yes, a demo for something really fast would be great (though I am no expert on these things). Thanks, Frank

Sounds great! Imma gonna grab this but will wait till after oct 31, so you get full customer value 
IS there any chance Indiginus would offer an articulation (sound variations) map for Studio One - down the line? it would be most helpful

I'ma huge fan of Cape Breton stuff, especially Ashley MacIsaac - not exactly for the folk purist, but loads of energy.
I don't suppose The Fiddle is aimed in this direction (but then again, what is), but it could be a useful fit for the ten other fiddle VSTs I have.

Bravo Indiginous on another wonderful library!! Sounds incredible right out of the box and easily the BEST fiddle option out there. Can't wait to use it in some tracks
I had exactly the same thought! I also chuckled quietly to myself.This is brilliant, well done! And @tcollins, I can see you’re having a problem I’m also dealing with. Loving your solution, curios to hear if it works?

Hi Frank,
I did use CC11 in the Amazing Grace demo, although I added it in another pass since my left hand was using the Harmony key switch when playing the part.
There are 3 dynamic layers in the sustains, and they are accessed through key velocity. CC11 (you can choose CC1 or another controller if you like) controls volume, but does not cross-fade through the dynamic layers.
