I made some tests with Cubase 6/VST Expression and our collections. Here are my impressions.
You can use the Expression Maps you find in your User Area with Cubase 5 and Cubase 6 the same way. Some things have been improved.
- You can use a MIDI controller (CC) that's used in an Expression Map live during playback or recording. That was not possible before.
- If you press one of the Remote Keys of the active Expression Map during recording, the according articulation gets an entry on the articulation lane.
- Articulation changes seem to work more stable.
- Dynamic mapping is a cool new feature that works without the need for any implementation from our side.
Additionally I want to mention, that I made some small adjustments to the Special Edition and Special Edition PLUS Expression Maps (Cubase 5 & 6), which should solve some bugs when using sfz, fp or switching back to non-legato. They will be online as soon as our system administrator finds some time for that.
