1] Many virtual orchestral instruments come with a large list of articulations. Though an expression map should include them all it’s not always necessary to use them all in one track. When loading gthe articulations lane it would be better if we could hide redundant articulations. Less complexity, less eye clutter
2] As orchestral instruments get sampled more deeply, velocity numbers are not always used for loudness. For example Cinematic Studio Strings uses velocity to change samples with longer legato fades to shorter or medium. It get’s hard to remember where X fades occur. If users could define pastel colours for various velocity zones this would help us remember where such changes occur
Here is an excerpt from CSS manual as an examples. Other libraries differ:
Oh and don’t forget, individual offsets per articulation (not per track) is crucial in next upgrade
