Working with mapped dynamics
Setting up the symbols
You can make settings for the symbols in the Dynamics Mapping Setup dialog. On the
left in the upper section, the available symbols are listed.
• To open the dialog, right-click on one of the symbols on the Dynamics Mapping
tab in the Symbols Inspector and select “Dynamics Mapping…”.
When mapped dynamics symbols have been added to the score, you can also
double-click on a symbol to open the dialog.
In the dialog, you can make the following settings:
Change Velocities
You can create dynamics by defining different velocities for the different symbols.
Proceed as follows:
1. Activate the “Change Velocities” checkbox in the lower section of the dialog.
2. Set up a percentage value (positive or negative) in the Velocity column to specify
by how much the corresponding symbol will raise or reduce the current velocity
value of a note.
Send Volume
You also have the possibility to define the dynamics by sending Volume controller
values. Proceed as follows:
1. Activate “Send Volume” in the lower section of the dialog, and select whether you
want to use the MIDI controllers 7 or 11 or the VST 3 parameter Volume (if the
instrument you are using is compatible with VST 3).
2. Set up a percentage value (positive or negative) in the Volume column to specify
by how much the corresponding symbol will raise or reduce the current volume of
a note.
Ö When “Send Volume” is activated and set to VST 3 Volume, the VST 3 volume events
in the notes are being merged with the volume specified for the Dynamics symbols,
according to the Merge Mode setting, see below. However, make sure that the edited
part does not contain events for MIDI controller 7 (Main Volume) or 11 (Expression)
on the controller lane.
