Hi all,
Is it possible to have a different root note for each expression map?
I made expression maps for violins, atos etc… from SE VSL but not for basses. The range of this instrument includes
the place where are usually the keyswitches so I started from C6, C6 being the root note.
When I opened the violins map, the root map was no more C0, but C6 as the bass map… 
Please, can you tell me where I’m wrong?
Thanks,
Edmond
Unfortunately, that is indeed the case. I too wish that it could be independent per map.
OK Vic, thanks. So we’ve to wait…but I beg different root notes for expression maps are not Steinberg’s top priority, aren’t they?

I suspect you are right 
. I would also like, when playing live, to be able to toggle Latch mode via a key command (or even, its own keyswitch )
… btw, what I will eventually get around to doing here…
N.B. this will be fine for newly-created maps, but, it does mean re-assigning all of my existing maps (which is why I haven’t even started doing it yet!)…
Just because the Root Note is, for example, C0, that doesn’t mean that the lowest note in a map has to be C0, it can be any note that is higher than C0… it just can’t be any note that is lower.
So, I shall change the Root note to, say, one octave below, to give me some “wiggle room” in case I ever need it (and I do indeed wish to add a new default key assignment to all the supplied maps, because, when in Latch mode, it is at the moment impossible to access the default slot while playing live!).
Unfortunately, if I simply cange the Root Note, as you have noticed, it also transposes all my existing maps, so I shall have to reassign them all, manually. 
I had a similar problem with EWQLSO. I tried to form my own keyswitches but upon realising this I saw that my root note (C0) clashed with some ranges of the instruments, contrabassoon and contrabass for example, my solution was to transpose the instrument if need be by -12. Shifting the range up an octave thus freeing up my keyswitch notes.
Hope this helps over a year on!
