Art Conductor Dorico (Expression Map collection)

Professional-Grade Expression Maps Designed Exclusively for Dorico Users

Art Conductor for Dorico is a comprehensive collection of expression maps supporting over 1,000 commercial sample libraries. Unlike standard Cubase expression maps imported into Dorico, these maps have been meticulously crafted to take full advantage of Dorico's unique capabilities and workflow advantages.

Two-Tier Solution Architecture

Art Conductor for Dorico offers a sophisticated two-tier approach to accommodate varying complexity levels:

Standard Expression Maps: For basic instruments, we provide streamlined expression maps that integrate seamlessly with Dorico's built-in playing techniques.

Complete Dorico Libraries: For advanced instruments featuring specialized articulations beyond Dorico's built-in playing techniques, we provide comprehensive libraries that include expression maps, playing techniques, playback techniques, and all necessary definitions. Users simply load the library through Dorico's library manager to begin working immediately.

Advanced Modular Design

Art Conductor's modular architecture represents a significant advancement over traditional Cubase implementations. Each articulation can incorporate multiple playback techniques simultaneously. For example, "Legato Sordino" combines two distinct playback techniques—Legato and Sordino—enabling composers to write a melodic line, apply ties to trigger legato expression, and mark the entire passage with sordino to affect all techniques within that section.

Intelligent Automation with Manual Override

The expression maps fully support Dorico's automatic technique detection system. Based on note duration and musical context, the system automatically assigns Sustain, Legato, Staccato, and Spiccato articulations, providing immediate, musically appropriate playback during composition. Additionally, Art Conductor includes a secondary expression set that allows users to override automatic assignments when precise control is required, ensuring complete creative authority over both audio playback and visual notation.
