The Expression Maps in Cubase 15 fail to play back the correct articulations after a ‘Trigger’ (Remote Key) has been sent from my control surface, namely, Metagrid Pro. Windows 11, Cubase 15.0.21

[image] JBuck: The issue seems to occur when ‘Triggers’, previously called ‘Remote Keys’ are sent from a control surface e.g. Metagrid Pro. This happens when you send only the note-on’s from the Metagrid Pro. You have to send a note-on followed by a delay then a note-off. If you search you ca…

[image] mducharme: Having a note-on by itself for the trigger with no note-off is wrong. Hmmm… note-on by itself works perfectly with the Generic Remote, the MIDI Remote and the old Expression Maps. With no need to program a delayed note-off. The MIDI Remote works on note number only so ther…

[image] JBuck: This sudden change only further complicates the setup process with no real benefit to the user. I suspect the intent might have been that if the user wants to hear a phrase they previously programmed, but with a different articulation than the one that they wrote it with, they …

Is there anything else I should know about the new EM’s i.e. any bugs? Is the pre-delay working as expected? I do recall there being an issue.

There was a bug with the predelay but it was all fixed. It should be good now. I don’t think there are any serious issues you need to worry about, they should work pretty well once you make that change to the Metagrid configuration.

There is also this issue.. [image] Bug when deleting multiple articulations in an expression map (Cubase 15) Cubase Hello, I would like to report a bug with the expression map editor in Cubase 15.0.20. When I delete multiple articulations in a group at once …

I set up the note-off messages and things still aren’t working as well as they do in C14. Basically, I load a project and press play and articulations are not playing back correctly. This is without touching my control surface. If I click on an event in the Key Editor, the acoustic feedback sounds …

[image] JBuck: Example: I change one event to a Trill and now everything is playing back as a Trill. And this is with delayed note-off messages. Do you have a simple project where you can demonstrate this issue? I can’t get it to stick on mine. Are you showing or hiding the sound slots lane,…

I don’t display the sound slots lane usually, I assume you mean the ‘Articulations’ Controller Lane at the bottom of the Key Editor. But it just misbehaved so I displayed the Articulations lane and sure enough everything was in order. But If I clicked on an e.g. Detache Short event with my mouse, no…

[image] JBuck: I don’t display the sound slots lane usually, I assume you mean the ‘Articulations’ Controller Lane at the bottom of the Key Editor. Yeah the sound slots lane is a new lane that is a sub-component of Articulations controller lane in Cubase 15 that shows you what slot Cubase int…
