    Cubase 5.01 now supports CC control in VST Expression. Here is a quote from Steinberg:

    "It is now possible to define up to two individual MIDI Control Change messages for a Sound Slot in the Output Mapping area. Each sound slot can be associated with a color. When working in the MIDI editors, such as the Key Editor, you can use the Color Scheme Selector in the Toolbar to colorize note events by Sound Slots."

    Hi!

    I may look stupid but I can't make VST expression work on my station with VSL.

    I'm using VE3 and from Cubase 5, when I create VST expression using keyboard keyswitch (from C0) and activate it, the notes are not listened in the slave VE. If I desactivate VST expression and push the same C0, it works fine!

    How do you manage to make it work ?

    Hi Ramu

    Sounds like you only defined the input side ( the key vaule next to the defined articulation )

    Did you define the output side as well? - thats the values in the top right box. Here you set the keyswitch, prg.change etc.

    And in the new Cubase update controllers are included as well.

    An endeavour here is that with the expression map I made for my new french oboe (vsl) in C5 most things work, but: with some key switching I get erroneous matrices and the key I set to select a matrix in the map is not selected, but another matrix in column. It seems that first and second key can change position and make an octave jump, e.g. E1 as key 1 is to select a matrix and C0 to select a patch, but then the matrix designated by C1 and the patch E1 of that matrix are selected. I cannot find what I am doing wrong, it would be such a shame if the very interesting expression map could not be made to work. Any ideas ?

    Cubase has a different naming of pitches. They use C3 for the middle C instead of C4. So if you want to use a key switch on E1, you have to enter E0 as switch in your expression map.

    Thanks for the response, but the key names already take the C5 offset into account, the apparent random switching between 1st and 2nd key remains still. Gerard

    Hello Gerard!

    What do you mean with C5 offset? I still think that you confused the Cubase and the VSL naming of the octaves. Octaves don't jump by random and the 1st key switch always is sent before the second one.
    Why don't you just use the Expression Map and preset you find in your User Area? Everything is preconfigured there.

    Sorry, C5 is Cubase 5 and not C5 In the meantime I found that my problem with articulations requiring 2 key switches is commonly encountered in the Steinberg fora. Gerard
