The Evolution virtual instruments include many different articulations, but often the factory presets have basic mappings without things like keyswitches and MIDI CCs to adapt to. This video goes into detail about how to assign articulations to velocity ranges, keyswitches, and MIDI CCs so that you can access them using any method you prefer.

The virtual instrument used in this video is Evolution Clawhammer Banjo, a detailed folk-style open back banjo sample library that focuses on the clawhammer playing style: orangetreesamples.com/products/evolution-clawhammer-banjo
