You must create sound slots for each articulation that you want to add.
Prerequisite
The Expression Map Setup window is open and an expression map is selected in the Expression Maps section.
Procedure
-
Do one of the following:
-
In the Sound Slots section, use the first default sound slot that is added automatically when a new map is created.
-
Click Add Sound Slot to add a new sound slot.
-
Click the articulation column Art. 1 for the sound slot, and select an articulation from the menu.
Note
If a specific articulation is not available on the pop-up menu, select Add Custom Articulation to define your own articulations. This adds a default articulation that you can define in the Articulations section.
-
Optional: Click the Name column and enter a name for the sound slot.
The names of the sound slots are displayed in the Inspector for the track.
-
Optional: Click the articulation columns Art. 2, Art. 3, or Art. 4 for the sound slot, and select an articulation from the menu.
This allows you to create a complex articulation, made of several different single articulations for the sound slot. For each new articulation, an additional entry is added in the Articulations section.
-
Click the Remote column for the sound slot and specify the key on your external device that triggers this sound slot.
-
Optional: Click the Col column to assign a color to the sound slot.
When working in the MIDI editors, you can color your events according to the color of the sound slots.
Result
The sound slots are added and the articulations are available. You can create as many sound slots as you need.
If Nuendo finds the sound slot, the current note is either modified, for example, reduced in length or played louder, or the MIDI channel, program change, or key switch information is sent to the connected instrument (the instrument selected on the Output Routing pop-up menu for the track), so that a different sound is played.
If no sound slot is found that matches the articulations used in the part, the closest match is used.
