What are VST Expression Maps and How to Use Them | Music Production for Beginners

This music production for beginners video looks at what are VST expression maps and how to use them. VST expression maps are important for making VST instruments sound natural in music production because things like, for example, a violin in HALion Symphonic Orchestra, have key switches which represent articulations like legato, tremolo, staccato and pizzicato - different styles and expressions that a good violinist would play. Using the key switches, it’s not always practical to play these live in Cubase while recording the instrument. So mastering how to use VST expression maps means you will be able to enter them after the melody has been recorded, creating really convincing, natural-sounding MIDI instrument recordings.
