Hi there,
For those using the Cinematic Studio series instruments (CSS, CSW, CSB, CSSS) and Cubase with the expression maps, anyone had any success using it properly? I tried to use the CC58 method, which almost work fine. All entries are set as Attributes and it works fine as long as you don't add the Legato or Sordino in the equation. In order to have a Sustain Legato and a Sustain non Legato, both would in theory need 1 CC58 at 8 + CC58 at 88 while the other one would need CC58 at 8 + CC58 at 83. If you'd like to use it as Sordino, then a third CC would have to be sent. Thing is, when multiple value are used, only the last one takes effect. and obviously, you can't have multiple articulation on the same note, so even if I keep legato on, legato off, sustain and sordino on and sordio off on their own entry, only the sustain will work as others aren't an articulation per say. So, it would change it live, but in the recording, it's not retained, therefore once you playback, it always default to Legato On and Sordino Off.
The note on instead of controller could be an option, but I'd prefer to use the CC values if that's possible. I've used other tutorials in the past where it locks the legato to Marcato and Sustains only, so that means you don't enable/disable the legato, but you select Marcato or Sustain with or without legato. And that scenario excluded the sordino (or I'd have to duplicate the track and enforce Sordino on that one).
I've been searching over the past few days about how to approach this properly, but all threads and solution I found so far doesn't fully address the above. Just wondering if anyone here had any success of doing so, and if so, if they are willing to share their receipe of success.
Thanks in advance.
