@mk1x86 ,

Hello, thank you very much for this!

I went to your help page to read more about this, and clicked on the YouTube link, but did not recognize a YouTube for your project.

Is one available?

Thank you, again!

108

Never got around to create one, sorry. One day when I find the time

109

No problem, thank you again for the amazing work!

But isnā€™t there anyone who can make a simple / basic turorial on how to create an expression map using this handy usefull tool? For me the Help page is to abstract to figure out how this tool works; monkey see, monkey doā€¦ (i am already familiar to how to set up an expression map in Cubase). Just a bridge too far for meā€¦

111

WOW! What a tool!? Thank you @mk1x86 for youā€™re hard work and I do hope you received more than just Dorcio from Steinberg. If they ever get around to improving the EM editor, they should have you as a consultant as youā€™ve nailed it with your online tool :+1:t4:
Are there any plans in the future for an offline tool across the platforms? Iā€™d buy it in a heart beat.

EDIT: Having a DB of user created EMs is also a brilliant idea

112

You can just download the website and use it offline.

Web-based was not my first choice, but the easiest way to get UI quickly. Based on what is available today, only an electron app would work - which is 200mb for a aimple tool.

113

Ahh ok, didnā€™t think of that?
Many thanks :+1:t4:

Just finished first full EM with 331 slots. Total game changer @mk1x86. Seriously impressed and much appreciated. Along with opening EMs right up and no doubt, beyond Steinbergā€™s own expectation of what EMs can do, Youā€™ve also breathed new creative life into Libraries that have sat on my digital shelf.
You Sir are a Legend :+1:t4:

EDIT: Just bought you a coffee or three :wink:

Never done this before - can I ask, how would I do that please.?

Usually, in the browser thereā€™s a button with 3 dots. There you find a menu item like ā€œsave asā€¦ā€ or ā€œstore for offline useā€

Thanks @mk1x86 - Iā€™m on MS Edge Browser, Win 11, and from the ā€˜three dotsā€™ menu I found a ā€˜save page asā€™ item, which I triedā€¦

That seems to download the main ā€˜Expression Map Editor _ Generator.htmlā€™ page, which I double-clicked on after Iā€™d disabled my WiFi accessā€¦ It opened in the browser ok, but with no functionality.!

I saw a separate folder in downloads too called ā€˜Expression Map Editor _ Generator_filesā€™ - donā€™t know its purposeā€¦ Do I need to point the Editor page to it somehowā€¦?

118

Youā€™re indeed correct, it does not work. Let me see if I can fix this. Needs to wait until after Halloween though

Ok, thanks for checking/response.

This is an awesome tool, @mk1x86 !

I realize the mapping is somewhat in reverse from how Cubase saves its maps, but it would still be very helpful to be able to import data from existing maps. I have thousands of expression maps from Art Conductor which donā€™t support multiple groups out of the box and being able to import and augment them would be fantastic.

121

With C15 released thereā€™s probably less demand to use my tool. However, if thereā€™s enough interest, Iā€™d take some time in the next couple of weeks to add the new features (mainly groups + attack compensation) to the tool so you can hopefully use your already created expression maps and only have to slightly update them.

  • Iā€™m interested in an update

Great tool! - I was losing very badly fighting with how to get multiple things to happen simultaneously, and reverted to the tedious use of midi note keyswitches, CCā€™s, etc. on the timeline of the key editor. By chance I came across your tool, and so far so good - looks like I owe you a coupla wobbly pops 4sure :+1: :slightly_smiling_face: Thanks mk!

123

Hi @mk1x86 - I voted yes to an updateā€¦

Also, did you get chance to look into problems downloading the website, to run the tool locally, as we discussed here.?

Donā€™t want to trouble youā€¦ Its not a problem at all.!

To be honest, I totally forgot about it. I will first spend some time implementing the new features supported in C15 and then look into it again.

With Christmas approaching, donā€™t count on it to happen this year
