Expression map items that aren't articulations?

[mbira]

I’m trying to make an expression map for VSL Vibraphone. There are several things that are not articulations such as “motor on”, “motor off”, mallet types, etc. How can I properly handle this in expression map so that I can see those things in the articulations/dynamics lane?

Also, how do I determine which articulations get “stuck” to a note so that deleting the articulation deletes the note (like with staccato notes) and articulations that don’t stick like legato?

Ok, I answered my second question. In the articulations panel type “direction” doesn’t stick and type “attribute” is note specific and sticks to a note.

Hi,

Make a Group 2 for the Motor On/Off, so you can set it up independently on the other articulation.

I often dreamed of having a tool, where you can create your Expres…
