Expression maps
Expression maps tell Dorico Elements how to use appropriately the patches and sounds in the
VST instruments that you have loaded into your project.
Expressing a range of dynamics on instruments means changing the volume and attack of
notes. Because the strength of attack changes the character of the start of sounds as well as
their volume, loud sounds often require stronger attacks and quiet sounds often require softer
attacks.
