Many of our current presets and matrices use MIDI Control Changes for articulation switching. Cubase Expression does not offer the possibility to send MIDI Control changes. But it is possibble to restructure our matrices and presets with H-Span and V-Span set to keyswitches, as the possibility to send two keyswitches for one expression is given.

It is possible in the Logical Editor in Cubase to map MIDI Control Changes to midi notes and MIDI notes to Control Changes. If someone could figure this out it would be most helpful. Cubase 5 will arrive at my house tomorrow and I have built a new fast computer recently so I am very excited about this.

There will be Expression Maps for some of our products (e.g. Special Edition), though I have to say that we are a bit restricted here, because at the current state Cubase Expression doesn't offer all the possibilities of switching articulations we could wish for.
Hi! Any idea when these Expression Maps may be available? I have Special Edition (Full) and Cubase 5 and wondering what the best long-term way to set up dozens of instruments. What I'm doing now seems a bit tedious -- not bad but I don't want to waste my time doing it any more than I have to. So an expression map or other pointers would be appreciated!
Keyswitches don't seem as nice (or pure) to me as controllers, so I don't know what the Cubase folks were thinking, but if it's the best way, I guess I don't care.
Thanks,
Jared
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.
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.
