What Are Expression Controls

Expression Controls are parameters you can automate over time to add nuance and realism, allowing you to "paint" where an effect should be active.

Available Controls

Vibrato

Vibrato is a subtle and rapid fluctuation in a note's pitch, which adds warmth, expression, and richness to the sound.

Split-tones

Split-tones are an advanced technique that creates a rough, textured sound by producing multiple pitches simultaneously. It's perfect for adding a raw, edgy character or a sense of tension to your melody.

Editing Expression Controls

1. Select the Expression Control below the piano roll.

2. Click and drag to "paint" the regions to activate.

3. Simply right-click and drag over an active region to erase it.
