The platinum standard in Cubase Expression Maps
A composer's dream
Imagine, all your orchestral sample libraries would feel like one. Structured and laid out in the same way. So you can focus on your music instead of feeling distracted by technicalities.
Art Conductor for Steinberg Cubase and Nuendo is the most complete collection of expression maps available.
Made of over 7000 templates for all major libraries including Spitfire, Vienna Symphonic Library, Eastwest, Orchestral Tools and Cinematic Instruments.
Are you ready to take control?
All expression maps are build in the same way. The key switches for the core techniques, which most libraries have in common, are assembled on the lowest octave.
It will take you no time to learn that Spiccato is always on E, independently of what library you’re using.
The remaining key switches follow the natural order within the individual instrument.
This unique universal key switches systems enables you to control all your libraries with one single Lemur, TouchOSC or hardware controller template.
Everything in perfect order
All expression maps are sorted alphabetically. And, we've streamline the way the techniques are named across all libraries. For instance ”Long” and ”Sustain” are always called ”Long” - because both describe the same.
Colors are a great tools to maximise overview - in a subtile fashion. In Art Conductor, we use colors to group articulations. For instance, all shorts are red.
We use custom made software to arrange all expressions into the perfect order. To automatically create consistent short names and notation symbols.
In other words, it would take month to do all this by hand with the tools available in Cubase.
What a great timesaver! My template is now much neater and my workflow is faster. Thanks so much!

Pre Art Conductor template in Logic - around 2000 tracks. Post Art Conductor template - less than 300 tracks. I think that says it all.

Invaluable and good support if needed. You could DIY but it would take forever.
Keeps everything on a level playing field, the last thing you want is to have to think about the technology when it should be as natural as operating a sustain pedal.

So much better than having to use keyswitches! Particularly pleased that the maps are regularly updated when new libraries are released

I move between Logic and Cubase and have used Art Conductor with both. The amount of Articulation maps provided covers a huge range of libraries and Babylonwaves has been quick to get new maps added as libraries are released or updated. The consistency in the maps is great and it's saves me SO MUCH time allowing me to focus on writing music. It's well worth the expense in my opinion

I am glad I spent some time initially making my own expression maps because it helped with my overall understanding of both the virtual instruments I use, and my depth of knowledge with Cubase - but Art Conductor has saved me hundreds, if not thousands of hours, of further work getting expression maps set up for all of my libraries. I also applaud the offering of free updates as new instruments are added. This was a great purchase!

I always thought it tedious and a bit of a pian to work with MIDI out tracks when using Kontakt. I mean, you can get 25 tracks plus (on the small side) in just the strings alone...if you are using only one library. The ease of using these expression maps in Cubase streamlines everything. Babylonwaves also responds to email inquiries rather quickly and the updates are a constant. Thank you for making a great product and thank you for the super customer service as well.
