Thank you so much for all the amazing Dorico and Cubase tutorials. As far as I know, Steinberg is the only company in this space that supports their products with superbly produced tutorials covering both workflow and every major feature. Keep up the great work!

Thank you for this video. I've been using NP with NPPE and they work great but it's nice to understand how it works.

Is there a Template/Expression map for the Olympus Micro choir that came with the Iconic Sketch library?

[@Monomorphismus]

I'd like to create the expression maps with a programming language. Is there any documentation about the expression maps format available?

[@dorico]

It's an XML file. If you export a current map from Dorico you can open it in a text editor and see what it contains.

Ty. Question about dynamic. You don’t explain why it’s specifically control 1 that controls volume. How would I know that?

CC1 CC11 CC7 ask chat gpt entire world knows it

[@avremig]

What’s difference between the three? (I guess not the entire world)

Really it's just a convention - you can read more about MIDI at midi.org. Many sound library vendors have tended to use CC1 for 'dynamics' (it's often referred to as 'dynamics' in sound libraries-especially orchestral libraries-as the timbre of the sound is also varied; straight 'volume' is generally at CC7, and many libraries also use CC11as 'expression' in conjunction with dynamics). Generally, modulation wheels on synths default to controlling CC1, so it's handy to use as a hardware controller for dynamics. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching, Anthony
