Your channel continues to be the best resource on how Dorico works, so thank you. But I was hoping that in this one I might learn how to load an endpoint configuration *without* having to load a playback template which includes it. Unfortunately I still don’t understand how to do this, and I suspect that it’s impossible ⎯ which, if true, would be ridiculous. The best workaround I have found is to use VEPro, and manually redirect the instrument to the port/channel you want!
That’s so great to hear - I strive to help clarify the ‘unknown’ features of Dorico. To your question… unfortunately there isn’t a way (at least that I know of) to load an endpoint directly by itself. You could create a new playback template with only a single endpoint and then load that. But, that would be my best suggestion.
@@musicchefpro Thanks for confirming my suspicion that it isn't possible. I have to say I prefer the VEPro workaround to the idea of a single-endpoint playback template. But I have just read on VI-Control that the developers have decided to "prioritize implementing a nicer solution for layering or switching between libraries", so maybe they will give us a simple way to load a free-standing endpoint. Maybe even in Dorico 6?
I want to put my two cents in about how useful I'm finding having all my Instruments, Expression Maps, Percussion Maps, coded with a prefix. By looking at it I instantly know the manufacturer and the instrument.and i can just kep straight of what is where on my Spreadsheet of all the Playing Techniques and Playback Techniques. For instance OTBBS = Berlin Brass, AICH = Audio Imperia Chorus, SFSAS=Spitfire Sacconi Strings.. These are just PREFIXES, the actual instrument name follows. i.e., OTBBS Solo Horn 1, etc. Now I need to get back to work on that spreadsheet!
@@musicchefpro As an old computer database programmer when younger I'm using that background to explore an easy solution to find "what is used where". For instance which projects used that OT woodwind piccolo or that JunkyXL tuba. There is no easy way to do with this a spreadsheet. Trying LibreOffice Database now. Don't want to get to distracted with this stuff though.

Great solution! There are so many details to keep straight with modern tools and filenames can be a great way to keep things clear.
