[SOLVED] Problem with Dimension Celli and Expression Map in Cubase

[topse]

Hi,

I am loading the VSL Dimension Strings - VC L2 to use with the MATRIX 02P VC-All_RE_L2_Art-Combi.

Please see the attached screenshot which show an excerpt of the settings in the expression map. The notes C3-F3 are in the playing area of the VC -- and because those notes are in the expression map, I cant play the, because Cubase maps them somewhere else.

Is this a bug in the expression map?

Thanks and Best Regards,

Hi Tobias, 

I just checked on a project of mine..

What really matters is the key on the "expression exit" window, that you can see in the up-right corner.
You will notice the note you read there is "2 octave up" the note of the keyswitch. I'd say what is a C0 for VI, is a C2 for Cubase.
For example the C3 for the regular strings you can see in the pic you uploaded triggers a C5.
So you shouldn't have any problem playing those note. Be sure you actualy loaded and selected the VC preset. Hope someone else will help you soon.

To be honest I deleted these keyswitch for choosing the forced string in Dimension from the expression map; to make sense, the expression map should give us the chance to have at least 2 keyswitch triggered simultaniously, one for the chosen string (or the a/b function) and one for the articulation. Otherwise it still happen to have a wrong playback because of a missed keyswitch. So I write the keyswitch for the string in the old way, with long and continuous midi events...

Best,

Fabio

Hello Tobias!

Your problem comes from your setting for the root note of the remote keys in the Expression maps setup window. I recommend using C0 as root note for our expression maps.

Thanks -- it worked!

I did not really unterstand, what is meant with that option, but setting it from c-2 to c0 worked!

Thanks and Best Regards,
