I am then able to select my SWAM Cello v3.0 voice and adjust it the way I want it to sound with Vibrato.

However, if I play the song from the beginning (or bounce it) Logic Pro resets the Vibrato. If I set the vibrato and then start it playing in the second measure, the vibrato is not reset and it sounds good.

So, where do I look to find out WHY the vibrato is being reset when I play from the start. I don't want to put a bug report on Audio Modeling (Swam) until I am sure it is not something stupid I am doing

TIA.

Hi Frank,
It's been MANY years since I played around with MIDI, so my thoughts might be totally obsolete for the current state of MIDI equipment and software!
Maybe first, you could explain what your equipment and software are?

Musescore: Is this the digital music authoring software, for writing traditional music scores?

Logic Pro: Is this the digital recording software, consisting of multiple tracks that contain MIDI data, recorded sound files, samples, etc.? You would use this to mix and edit all the tracks into the desired format and sound?

SWAM Cello v3.0 voice: Sorry, totally unfamiliar with this, but I'm guessing it's a MIDI sound module?

You mentioned that you could set up the SWAM to provide vibrato, but when starting the track from the beginning, the vibrato would disappear, right? If this is the case, I'm thinking that there needs to be a MIDI command that is 'programmed' into a track in Logic Pro that will tell the SWAM to add vibrato to the voice. I may be blowing smoke here, since my MIDI days were long ago. But if I'm even close to understanding your situation, let me know and maybe we can puzzle this one out together. Of course, as someone previously suggested, you could get onto a User Group forum for Logic Pro and pick their brains. That might be a quicker solution than waiting for me to sweep out the cobwebs...
Good Luck either way!
