Free Cubase 15 Expression Map: Cinematic Studio Strings with Delay Compensation (Masaharu)

Overview

Composer Masaharu shares a free expression map for Cinematic Studio Strings made for Cubase 15, whose refreshed expression maps add a delay compensation parameter. The map offsets the library's legato and attack latency so notes can stay on the grid, and it is organised into five groups: articulations and legato speeds, legato on or off, first note or slide, CC64 sustain pedal and con sordino.

The post explains loading the map in Expression Map Setup, assigning it to a Kontakt instrument track and handling note-off timing and tempo changes in legato phrases. The zip is a direct download, and Cinematic Studio Strings is needed.
