Articulation Switcher: Cubase - brainstorm

this new feature is awesome! And just to be completely greedy, when will we get access to some of Dragsquares lovely VI templates?

Brilliant grids and styles! A masterpiece!

It would be so useful to see a video of how you use them.

( And the idea of sharing user grids is very welcoming thing )

If Metagrid developers could implement some similar grids in the future updates.

Just to let you know that we are actively working with @dragsquares to bring his great creations to MGP

Interesting…there is still nothing in this thread about actually assigning articulations in Cubase, just key switching them. Which is not particularly helpful when programming instruments with MIDI.
I know my solution is clunky, but are we willing to wait another x amount of years for Steinberg to implement a way to assign articulations?. Afterall, we have been requesting an Expression Map update for a decade.

Metagrid could very easily allow mouse X and Y axis movement base on screen resolution and then a generic 60 button grid with a generic 60 slot Expression Map. And then the user can just set up the Key Editor to work with it.

Hang on… I’ve already done all that. LOL

Drop me a line if you’re interested.

I’m really interested in your clunky solution :wink:. I made my own clunky and partial solution with a Streamdeck plug-in that moves the mouse to specific x and y coordinates; I just use a Streamdeck button to click on the info line articulation field and then I use the arrow keys to move along the articulations menù (btw, I use attributes expression map and not direction). I really would like that Metagrid could implement mouse movements as an action, I hope this is on the roadmap for future updates

We are currently testing the in-build solution in MetaServer to enable articulation assigning in Cubase - more info coming soon.

Streamdeck does indeed have some nifty add ons when it comes to making macros that work with fixed screen positions. It would be great if Metagrid could embrace mouse control.
On the subject of articulation control, here are screen shots of my grids for two audiobro libraries - MSS and Eternity. These have some of the most complex control interfaces of instrument libraries.

Nice grids!. Have you considered using Bome MIDI Translator Pro? It can save a lot of space in your grids when it comes to faders. I only have one fader on my main grids and then I have buttons called Mod, Expression, Velocity and Filter etc. which I use to transform the fader with BMTP. These buttons highlight to let me know which function the fader currently has.

This is very exciting! It’s the reason I bought Metagrid. Any ETA for the articulation updates? I’d love to test it out. I just updated my Cubase orchestral template using BabylonWaves Expression Maps and would love to have this functionality!
