thanks janne for the kind care and help... you explaination has made some of the misunderstanding more clear...
what you have told me now lets me see that I am limited to using the various symbols allowed for track dynamics, and that I can assign a given midi note value to them... and, if I get it correctly now, those are the limititation I'd have to obey.
and... while this may be OK for some Kontakt instruments, it is less than ideal for others... this wouild be more clear when looking at the various names and kinds of keyswitches that can be involved. How confusing it would become to see whatever, say a pp on one track that triggers something there but on another track it triggers something entirely different.
Now for me personally it's not a huge thing... I've been looking into this for one of my son's [30 year old muscian\composer]... who writes in Sibelius and now wants to orchestral with better sounds in Reaper.
My [apparent] fantasy was that keyswitches by midi notes could be avoided and that he would now be able to write them directly on the score and then import as MIDI XML files... load the matching articulation map and instrument and have it all work.
Maybe I'm still confused but ATM it is looking to me that in many cases it's going to be better to just do it with keyswitch midi notes on the track.
Darn... I hope I'm wrong... %^)
