Cinematic Studio Strings Cubase Expression Maps

This is a set of Cubase Expression Maps for the Cinematic Studio Strings (also compatible with the Cinematic Studio Solo Strings). There are a total of 4 maps: CSS Violins, Violas & Cellos, CSS Basses, CSS Full Ensemble, and CSS Lite Ensemble. The maps have been designed around the factory defaults, using CC58 and also the default Key Switches assigned to the library's UI. CSS has 3 kinds of long articulations - Sustain/Long, Standard Legato, and Advanced Legato. These are hard coded into the maps and only require a single articulation lane for them to work. Some of the other articulations may also use Legato. They have been assigned dedicated Legato ON/OFF lanes on the bottom of the map within Cubase which will not interfere with the main Sustain/Legato patches. The Marcato articulation may be switched to use a Spiccato Overlay or not. Finally, all of the articulations can be switched to use the mutes (Con Sordino) which can be turned on or off from their own dedicated lanes on the bottom of the expression map.

I hope these Cubase maps make your life easier and allow you to go straight to your creative work, leaving all technicalities behind. Please enjoy them!

I only ask for a small contribution from you for whatever amount you desire (min $4) covering the time spent to prepare this product.

Product Update: Since the release of CSS v.1.7, the names of the legato articulations have been changed from Standard & Advanced to Low Latency (LL) and Expressive (EXP). All owners of the original maps get a free update. New users have access to both versions of all the maps.

Tip: You could still use the original CSS Expression Maps with CSSS as the name of the legato articulations remain unchanged.
