VSL, Cubase and Dynamics Mapping: Does anyone use this or is it just not granular enough?

[DaddyO]

Now that I'm up and running with creating my own custom Cubase Expression Maps for VSL, I notice that along with Articulations listed in the Cubase Key Editor there is a separated area for Dynamics mapping. I'm guessing from what I've seen on YouTube these were primarily for Steinberg's Halion, but has anyone successfully attempted to implement them for VSL? Or are they just not granular enough to achieve satisfactory results compared to live or "painted" continuous controller data?

Hello DaddyO!

The Cubase Dynamics mapping can be used with any VST Instrument. Please keep in mind that it only modifies your velocity values. So you don't get absolute values, but only values that are relative to the velocity you have recorded or "painted".

Best regards,

Ah, thanks for clarifying that the values are relative and not absolute. I did not understand that.
