Using Expression Maps
For more realistic performances, many instrument layers use key switches to switch
between different expressions, i. e. different articulations and playing styles of the
same instrument. These key switches are set to rather low keys to maximize the
playable range and they cannot be changed internally to ensure that performances
played by FlexPhrasers always sound the same – FlexPhrasers expect the key
switches of certain expressions on a specific MIDI note.
However, in some cases you need to shift the key switches into the playable keyboard
range to get access to them. You may also want to select the expression using a MIDI
controller. You can use so-called expression maps to customize the internal setting.
Selecting the Expressions
You can select which of the listed expressions you want to use in your expression
map. Expressions you do not activate will not be included in your expression map.
To activate or deactivate an expression, proceed as follows:
• Click the button to the left of the name of the expression.
Deactivated expressions turn dark.
Ö
Some instrument layers consist of multiple expressions that are not switchable via a
key switch. For example, instrument noises typically do not have a key switch
assigned. In this case, you can still select the individual expressions and edit them,
however, you cannot apply any key switch functionality. The key switch option menu is
therefore disabled.
Setting the Mode
To define whether you want to use only the internal key switches, to remap them to
other keys or to use a MIDI controller instead, open the options pop-up menu above
the expression list:
1. Go to the Edit page and select the layer you want to adjust.
2. Click the menu triangle on top of the expression list.
3. Select a mode. The following options are available:
Ö
No matter which condition you select, the internal key switch assignments still work in
parallel. This is mostly important for FlexPhrases that make use of the key switches.
The last key switch that is received always has priority.
Key Switch Mode
The Key Switch mode uses the internal key switch assignments. The key switches are
displayed in the list.
Mode Description
Key Switch Only the internal key switches can be used to switch to an
expression.
Remapped The original key switches can be remapped to different keys.
MIDI Controller A MIDI controller can be used to remotely control the internal key
switches.
