NOTE
Although settings are imported into the Technique controls and Exclusion Groups from
Cubase, Dorico Elements does not currently implement all the information. This is planned
for future versions.
In simple cases, techniques in the Techniques list are individual techniques, such as
Staccato or Accent. However, it is possible to combine multiple techniques for plug-ins
that have separate samples for different combinations of techniques. For example,
Staccato + Accent might require a separate set of switches to Staccato and Accent
individually.
Selecting a technique in the Techniques list makes it available for editing in the Actions
section. All the controls in this panel apply to the current technique.
You can add new techniques, edit existing techniques, and delete techniques using the
following buttons in the Techniques list action bar:
● Add Technique
Allows you to add a new technique or combination of techniques to the expression
map from the available techniques in the Technique Combinations dialog.
● Edit Technique
Allows you to edit the combination of techniques used in the selected technique in
the Technique Combinations dialog.
You can also edit existing techniques by double-clicking them in the Techniques list.
● Duplicate
Creates a copy of an existing technique that you can then edit separately from the
original.
● Delete Technique
Allows you to delete the selected technique.
NOTE
You can only select one technique at a time in the Techniques list.
4 Actions section
Allows you to determine how the switch required to execute each technique is controlled.
This section also contains the details of existing actions required to produce the selected
playing technique.
Actions can be any of the following types:
● Key switch
● Control change
● Program change
NOTE
Depending on your plug-in, multiple types of actions can be required to change individual
techniques.
In the Actions section, actions are displayed in a table with three columns.
