Creating a playing technique mapped onto an expression map

My Guitar VST has a “direction” type of articulation called Tirando (at Key switch D0).

So in Library->Edit Playback Techniques I create a “direction” type of ‘techniques’ called “Tirando”.

Then, in Library->Expression Maps, I create a new map in which I add a BASE entry called “Tirando” with a Keyswitch “D0”/127 and a control change 1/0.

In Play mode, I assign the guitar the newly created Expression Map.

But now, back in write mode, the articulation popover does not let meentering the string “Tirando”.

So, how do you add the string “Tirando” as a playing technique and how do you map it onto the expression map?

Create new Playing Technique and connect it to your Playback Technique…

Your Expression map will need to include switches for ALL the techniques you want the VST to use, one of which would be natural (the default guitar sound).
