Recording MIDI controllers as Note Expression data

To record Note Expression data using standard MIDI controller messages, activate the “MIDI as Note Expression” button in the Note Expression Inspector section and enter the notes and controllers using your MIDI device. Afterwards, you can copy, paste and move the notes and the associated controller data will follow.

However, you should not shift individual notes from a chord, because this leads to conflicting controller messages. One way to avoid such conflicts is to record MIDI controllers as Note Expression data for monophonic performances only. Another option is to use a MIDI track set to “Any” channel and to split polyphony to separate channels. This is useful when working with guitar-to-MIDI controllers, where each string sends on a separate MIDI channel.
