So question for my fellow Cubasers ... I love what you can do with expression maps in terms of combining articulations, key switching, and having everything in one MIDI lane - sure makes post editing a lot easier than multiple lanes for multiple MIDI channels. This works beautifully when one instance of a plug-in holds all the articulations you want to access.
However, is there a way to switch between different plug-ins or plug-in instances on the same lane, whether by expression maps or otherwise? In the case of something like Hollywood Strings, I've found that spreading articulations over more than one instance to actually work rather well in terms of RAM usage, especially when utilising the Powerful System Legatos. And sometimes you have more than 16 articulations you want to use (I know it might sound excessive, but to each their own I suppose), which inevitably means more than one instance if MIDI channels are how you switch articulations.
It could also be cool to dynamically combine different plugins, for whatever creative reason you may have ... like say a C0 would trigger HW Strings Legato, C#0 would switch to a Trilian Acoustic Bass, a D0 switches to a Tuvan Throat Singer in Omnisphere, and a D#0 would switch to a Drumkit from DAMAGE ...
So, is this in any way possible??
