This controller is hidden.
Filtering the list
If you click on the Parameter column header, a pop-up menu opens, containing the following
filter commands:
Show only used Parameters
Select this command to only display the parameters in the list for which data exists.
Make all Parameters visible
Select this command to display all available parameters in the event display.
Make only edited Parameter visible
Select this command to display only the edited parameter in the event display.
Bypassing Note Expression
Like for most other Inspector sections, you can bypass the Note Expression settings by clicking
on the button at the top right of the Inspector section, so that it lights up yellow. If Bypass is
activated, all Note Expression data will be bypassed for the track.
Bypass is active for the Note Expression Inspector section.
Mapping controllers
External keyboards have no controls or faders for VST 3 parameters, which can therefore not
be recorded directly. To remedy this, you have the possibility to assign a certain MIDI controller
(or Pitchbend and Aftertouch) to any of the Note Expression parameters in the list. The MIDI
assignment is shown in the CC column in the Inspector.
The same MIDI controller can be used for several parameters, but only one of these controllers
can be active at a time. If the mapping is active, the number for the assigned MIDI controller
is displayed (or PB and AT for Pitchbend and Aftertouch, respectively). If a MIDI controller is
assigned but inactive, for example, because the selected parameter uses the same assignment
as another parameter, a dot is shown in the CC column.
The VST 3 parameter Tuning is automatically assigned to the pitchbend wheel of your MIDI
controller. All other parameters are assigned by default to the first MIDI controller (CC1:
Modulation).
To manually specify the record mapping for the parameters, use the MIDI Learn function, or load
a mapping preset.
Manual mapping
To manually map a MIDI controller to the selected Note Expression parameter, you can select the
MIDI controller from the MIDI assignment pop-up menu. If the MIDI controller you are looking
for is not on the list, select “MIDI Controller Setup…” and activate it in the dialog. This is the same
as selecting which controllers are available for the controller lanes in the Key Editor.
