VST Expression
To display the available articulations (i.e. all articulations
set up in the selected Expression Map), open the pop-up
menu to the left of the lane and select “Articulations”.
“Articulations” selected for the Controller lane in the Key Editor.
• When “Articulations” is selected for a controller lane,
the note beginnings are displayed as thin vertical lines in
the controller display.
• All articulations that are specified for the selected Ex-
pression Map are available on the controller lane. They ap-
pear on different rows one above the other. The order in
which they are listed is the same as in the Expression Map.
The different groups (1 to 4) are also reflected here, see “Groups” on
page 378. They are separated by black lines. Articulations belonging to
the same group are shown in the same color.
• Directions are displayed as bars in the controller lane.
They begin at the insertion point of a direction and end at
the insertion point of the next articulation from the same
group (or at the end of the part if no more directions fol-
low). Attributes are inserted at the note beginning.
You can assign a maximum of one attribute per group to each note.
Editing on the controller lane
• To insert new directions on the controller lane, select the
Pencil tool and click at the desired position in the respec-
tive row, i.e. where you want the direction to start. Note
that you will have to click at the exact position of the first
note you want to apply this articulation to or to the left of it.
Instead of selecting the Pencil tool, you can also hold down [Alt]/[Option]
and click at the desired position.
• To insert new attributes on the controller lane, select the
Pencil tool and click at the respective note line in the cor-
responding row of the controller lane.
Instead of selecting the Pencil tool, you can also hold down a modifier
key (by default [Alt]/[Option]) and click at the desired position.
• To remove a direction, click on it with the Eraser tool or
select it and press [Delete] or [Backspace].
• To remove an attribute, click on it with the Pencil tool.
Note that you cannot select attributes in the controller lane without auto-
matically selecting the corresponding note, too. Therefore, you cannot
delete an attribute by selecting it and pressing [Delete] or [Backspace]
without deleting the note as well.
Ö If several notes are selected, you can use the Pencil
tool to insert or delete attributes for all of them in one go.
Editing on the info line
When a MIDI note is selected in the note display, the info
line contains the option “Articulations”. This displays the
note attributes (symbols) specified for the selected note.
Click in this section to open the Articulations pop-up
menu. The following applies:
• All note attributes available in the Expression Map are
shown on the pop-up menu, sorted by group (see
“Groups” on page 378).
• To add an attribute to a note, simply select it on the
pop-up menu. Attributes that are active for a note are indi-
cated on the menu.
If you click on an active attribute again on the menu, it will be deleted.
• If you select another attribute from the same group for a
note, the attribute will replace the previous attribute.
