Expression maps (Cubase only)
• 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 426. 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 re-
spective row, i. e. where you want the direction to start.
Note that you have to click at the exact position of the first
note that 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 “Articulations” option. 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 426).
• 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 is deleted.
• If you select another attribute from the same group for a
note, the attribute replaces the previous attribute.
Expression maps in the List Editor
In the List Editor, the Articulations can be viewed and ed-
ited in the Comment column. The options are the same as
on the Key Editor info line, see above.
Directions can be shown either as Text or as Graphic
Symbols (like in the Score Editor). Either way, they are fol-
lowed by the text “VST Expression” in brackets, so as to
be easily recognizable and distinguishable from ordinary
Score symbols.
