So, I've made a quick little bit of logic that will simply create a new CC1 event that matches the MIDI Note number. I want volume to go up a little as notes get higher, and down as they go lower. In this example, I am starting with a track that has no CC1 events at all. There is so much one can do with the Logical Editor in Cubase that would take many hours to attempt note-by-note, by hand with the mouse!

One of my favorite ways to 'rough in' some natural dynamics is to use the MIDI Logical Editor. There are a number of approaches one can take to get effective expression volume events into a GPO Instrument track. By Default, this is where any 'recorded' CC events from your MIDI Controller devices will go. The image below shows CC1 and Velocity lanes in the "In-place" and "Key" Editors. They show up in the MIDI Editor (Key, In-place, or List Editors), but will not show up in the main project view 'automation lanes'. By default these recorded events go directly into the main Event/Part of a MIDI or Instrument track. Out of the box, Cubase can record any MIDI events live that are played into it. You can keep them bound to specific notes in VST3 Note-Expression containers. You can keep them in VST Automation lanes in the main project view.ģ.

You can keep them in CC lanes in the MIDI Editor.Ģ.

Some Garritan instruments also respond to 'key velocity' for attack volume/style as well.ġ. CC1 or CC11 controls expression volume, and this is kept 'relative' or 'scaled' to the main channel volume. With Garritan Libraries CC7 will adjust the channel volume (Automates the ARIA Mixer).
