Hello my friend! Recently, Gumroad removed the feature of receiving payments through PayPal, and currently only allows Stripe or bank accounts for receiving payments. As a Chinese individual, neither of these options are viable, so I am unable to receive the money earned from sales into my personal account. Gumroad doesn't seem to prioritize this issue, hence I have decided to switch to selling my work on Patreon. Please visit patreon.com/DarlingLee to purchase my work or subscribe. I will resume using Gumroad for sales once they provide viable payment methods for us Chinese users. Thank you for your support.

您好我的朋友！前段时间Gumroad撤销了使用paypal左右收款账户的功能，目前只能使用Stripe或者银行账户作为收款方式，作为中国人，这两种方式都无法使用，因此销售所得的金钱都不能收款到我的个人财产中。Gumroad似乎对这个问题并不重视，因此我已经尝试转到Patreon中销售我的作品。请前往 patreon.com/DarlingLee 购买我的作品或进行订阅。待Gumroad重新为我们中国人提供可用的收款方式后再重新使用Gumroad进行销售，谢谢您的支持。

Currently, there exists a wide variety of instrument plugins and sound libraries with various articulations, while Ableton Live lacks a feature similar to Logic's articulation mapping or Cubase's/Nuendo's expression mapping. To enhance the performance of these instruments and facilitate easy and efficient control within Ableton Live, it becomes crucial to have a means of controlling the articulations of instruments. In order to accommodate as many instrument plugins and sound libraries as possible, this plugin has been designed to offer flexible combinations of control parameters, including key-switch, CC#, program change and MIDI channel. This simplifies the control of instrument plugins and sound libraries, allowing for effortless manipulation of articulations (starting from version 4.0, control modes are no longer differentiated). Additionally, the plugin features a latency fixer to address issues related to varying sound delays that may arise when using different articulations or playing note velocity with certain sound libraries or instrument plugins. With these capabilities, it is capable of meeting the requirements of almost all instrument plugins and sound libraries.

Its functionality is so extensive that it cannot be fully summarized in a short introduction. Here are the key features of ArticulatOR Pro 4.0:

1.The plugin's size has been reduced from 23.5MB (version 3.0) to 3.1MB(version 4.0).

2.Significantly shortened loading time for the plugin, preset calling, and language switching.

3.Greatly reduced CPU usage during plugin loading, preset calling, and language switching.

4.Now supports up to 48 articulations, with three adjustable positions: 16/32/48.

5.Unrestricted control of articulation using an unlimited number of controllers. The control mode selection has been eliminated, allowing you to freely combine keys, CC#, program changes, and MIDI channels for any articulation.

6.Reduced CPU consumption during usage.

7.Added the Hold Key function.

8.Improved compatibility with Cubase/Nuendo expression map preset files (.expressionmap). You can now directly drag and drop expression map preset files (.expressionmap) into the right half of ArticulatOR Pro's main UI for loading. Additionally, a preset converter is provided to convert older versions of preset files and expression map preset files.

9.Default support for Simplified Chinese and English languages. An additional Language File Maker is provided so you can create your own language file for ArticulatOR Pro.

10.MIDI Controller update: Added automatic pitch bending functionality.

......

4.1 Update Log:

1. Added a button for unloading loaded instrument plugins.

2. Multi-instrument support: You can now load up to 16 instrument plugins into ArticulatOR Pro and use the new instrument channel feature to switch or freely combine the instruments you want to play.

3. Key mapping function: Remap configured articulations to specific keys in order.

4. Temporary key switching function: This function is available when the key mapping function is enabled. It is similar to the inverse function of the Hold Key function and is often used in performances. It allows you to switch to the corresponding articulation only when holding down a certain key, and automatically return to the "basic articulation" when released.

5.Several bug fixes.

Version 4.2 Update Log:

1.Multiple internal optimizations and button corner rounding.

This product needs to be activated before use, and there are two ways to activate it: self-activation and remote activation. Please read the user manual under "Documents". Supported platforms: MacOS/Windows 10 and above, Ableton Live Suite 11 and above.

目前有非常多的乐器插件和音色库存在多种演奏技法，而Ableton Live却没有类似Logic的运音法、Cubase/Nuendo的表达映射的功能。而为了更好地演奏这些乐器，能在Ableton Live上方便快捷地控制乐器得演奏技法显得尤为重要。为了适配尽量多的乐器插件或音色库，本插件设计了以键位控制，CC控制，程序(Program Change)控制以及MIDI通道控制的一种或多种控制参数自由搭配的方式，实现简便化控制乐器插件或音色库的演奏技法的目的（4.0版本开始不再区分控制模式）。同时插件具备了延迟修复功能用以修复一些存在在不同演奏技法下或/和不同演奏力度音符下发声延迟不一样的音色库或乐器插件的问题。至此，它能胜任几乎所有的乐器插件和音色库。它的功能之多无法用一篇简短的介绍全面概括，以下是ArticulatOR Pro 4.0的关键特征：

1.插件的体积从23.5mb（3.0版本）降低到了3.1mb（4.0版本）；

2.极大缩短了加载插件、预设调用和语言切换时所需的时间；

3.极大降低了插件加载、预设调用和语言切换时所需的CPU占用率；

4.现在您可以最多配置48种演奏技法，并且提供了3个档位可调，分别是16/32/48；

5.现在您可以使用不受限制的控制器数量来联合控制一种演奏技法，并且去除了控制模式选择，任何演奏技法，您都可以自由组合使用键位，CC#，程序改变以及MIDI通道来控制；

6.降低了使用过程中CPU的消耗；

7.增加了持续键位功能；

8.增加了对Cubase/Nuendo的表达映射预设文件（.expressionmap）的兼容性，可以直接把表达映射预设文件（.expressionmap）拖放到ArticulatOR Pro的主UI的右半部分直接加载，额外提供了预设转换器，您可以使用拖放的形式对旧版本的预设文件和表达映射预设文件（.expressionmap）进行转换；

9.现在开始，默认只提供简体中文和英文两种语言。还额外提供了一个Language File Maker，您可以使用它为ArticulatOR Pro创建自己的语言；

10.MIDI Controller更新：增加了自动弯音功能。

......

4.1 更新日志：

1. 增加了一个用于卸载已加载乐器插件的按钮。

2. 多乐器支持：现在可以将最多16个乐器插件加载到ArticulatOR Pro中，并使用新的乐器通道功能来切换或自由组合您想要演奏的乐器。

3. 键位重映射功能：按顺序将配置的演奏技法重新映射到特定的按键上。

4. 临时键位切换功能：此功能在启用键位重映射功能时可用。类似于持续键位功能的相反功能，通常用于表演中。它允许您仅在按住某个按键时切换到相应的演奏技法，并在松开后自动返回到“基本技法”。

5.多项修复优化。

4.2更新日志：

1.多处内部优化，按钮圆角化处理。

此产品需要激活后才能使用，激活方法有两种：自主激活和远程激活。请阅读Documents下的用户手册。支持平台：MacOS/Windows10及以上,Ableton Live Suite 11及以上。
