Cinematic Studio Strings - Cubase Template (split articulation)

LAYOUT

• Every articulation of every instrument loaded as a separate disabled track.

• All tracks are named as following " [Instrument Name] - [Library] - [Articulation] "

• Ready to be imported in your own Cubase template in one click.
• The sub shorts articulations (Spicc, Staccatissimo, Staccato, Sfz) are grouped in one track and controlled by CC1 (default behavior)

SMALL CPU & RAM FOOTPRINT

• Every track disabled
• Every track is purged

  

  

  
  

PRE-DELAY COMPENSATION

• Every track have it's own PDC (Pre-Delay Compensation) according to the values found either on the manual or composer forums.

  

  

MIC POSITIONS TOTAL CONTROL

• The 4 mic positions (Spot 1, Spot 2, Main, Room) are assigned to MIDI CCs within Kontakt for each track :
  • CC50 = Spot 1 mic
  • CC51 = Spot 2 mic
  • CC52 = Main mic
  • CC53 = Room mic
• Assign those MIDI CCs to 4 faders in your MIDI Keyboard
• You can select multiple tracks and change the mic balance by moving your faders. Once you are happy with the balance, hit record at the beginning of the track and move them to freeze the positions.

  

  
  

MIDI INIT EVENTS

• A small MIDI Event at the beginning of each track (at bar -4) to set the level of MIDI CCs as following to avoid common issue (no sound etc.) :
  • CC1 (Dynamic) = 60
  • CC11 (Expression) = 60
  • CC7 (Kontakt Volume) = 127
  • CC21 and CC2 (vibrato) = 0
  • CC64 = Sustain Pedal = 0
  • Pitchbend = 0
• A small MIDI Event at the beginning of each track (at bar -3) to set a mic position balance
• To add bars before bar 1 in your template, Go to Project->Project Setup->Increase "Display Bar Offset"
