Pitch in Note expression

[tymur16]

Hello. I would like to see note expression updated in the next version of Cubase.

[KT66]

So, a few things…

1. Cubase 15 development will already be well under way so I suspect the gate is closed for new features.
2. What is it about note expression that you would like to see updated?
3. You should add the ‘feature request’ tag to your post so that someone in Steinberg is more likely to read it.

I would like the expression pitch to be more controllable and to be linked to the grid.

Yeah STRONGLY NEEDED.

And well you should add the ‘feature request’ tag to your post.

Note Expression has two pitch controls. Pitch Bend and Tuning. Both follow the grid, so please clarify.

[Tweswend]

hmm… Maybe we should describe our demand clearer. Vertical position of Each point on the expression curve shows what exactly the pitch is on the piano roll…? (My bad English…) They should be aligned.

Another fact is that some plugins use tune / pitch expression ranging too wide (like -120 semitones to +120 semitones) and using the current Note Expression Editor could not decently handle them.

So you are not asking for something to be linked to the grid, but to to pitch increments. The Tuning parameter does this, but the plugin author has to have implemented it. Most Steinberg products do.

But the interface is a box that’s superimposed over the Key Editor. So you must be asking for a mini key editor within the note expression box. If so, please be clear.

Are you aware that you can vertically zoom in and out?

Note Expression only allows up to 48 divisions up or down. What those divisions actually are is determined by the developer of the plugin.

Chances are there’s another way to achieve what you’re after in Cubase.

It would probably make sense for you to tell the forum what you are trying to achieve rather than assuming you need a new feature.

Something like the pitch expression editor in Bitwig would be nice. Drawing pitch curves with nodes and have them snap to the piano roll notes/keys.

Yes I know that. I’ve been using Note expressions in composing for years and I do know all the features.

My request is quite something like this in bitwig studio.

I would be interested how you change the Pitch Expression by 5 cents in Bitwig.

That’s exactly what I meant
