If you do not have a VST 3 instrument, but still want to use the Note Expression functions, proceed as follows:
Procedure
- Add a multi-timbral instrument, open its control panel, and assign the same sound to different channels.
- In the Inspector for the corresponding MIDI track, make sure the MIDI output pop-up menu is set to “Any”.
- Enable the “MIDI as Note Expression” button and record or enter MIDI notes with expression as needed.
- On the MIDI menu, open the Note Expression submenu and select “Distribute Notes to MIDI Channels”.
This will distribute the MIDI notes to different channels (starting at channel 1).
- Edit Note Expression for each note independently without controller conflicts.
