Expression maps in the Key, Drum, and In-Place Editors

If an expression map is used for a MIDI or instrument track, its articulations are shown in the note events in the Key Editor display, provided that the vertical zoom factor is high enough. If the horizontal zoom factor is high enough, the attribute description (the text in the Description column) is also shown.

You can insert and edit articulations in the Key, Drum, and In-Place Editors using the controller lane. This is much like regular controller lane editing.

  • To display the articulations set up in the selected expression map, open the pop-up menu to the left of the lane and select “Articulations/Dynamics”.



  • When “Articulations/Dynamics” is selected for a controller lane, the note beginnings are displayed as thin vertical lines in the controller display.

  • All articulations that are specified for the selected expression map are available on the controller lane. They appear on different rows one above the other. The order in which they are listed is the same as in the expression map.

    The different groups (1 to 4) are also reflected here. They are separated by lines. Articulations belonging to the same group are shown in the same color.

  • Directions are displayed as bars in the controller lane. They begin at the insertion point of a direction and end at the insertion point of the next articulation from the same group (or at the end of the part if no more directions follow). Attributes are inserted at the note beginning.

    You can assign a maximum of one attribute per group to each note.
