I rely heavily on continuous controllers to achieve technically desired results when composing within the Cubase digital audio platform. I have created a continuous controller chart for several of the VST instruments to use as a quick reference guide.
I divided the chart into sections that directly correspond to the organization of the virtual instrument controllers. I start from the top left and continue to top right. I then proceed to center left and continue to center right. Note that even though the top and center boxes are divided on the Embracer both top and center right or left correspond to a single open sound control, OSC 1 or OSC 2. So naturally I listed the two together, however, separating with a single space to identify the top controllers from the center controllers. Finally, I charted from bottom left to bottom right.
The controllers themselves are charted in the exact same manner. When looking at the top left box, OSC 1, I start with the top controllers, row 1, proceeding from left to right. I then continue to the next set of controllers, row 2, again proceeding from left to right. For example: The top left controllers correspond to OSC 1. I begin with the wave controller, top center, I then proceed to the tone controller, bottom left, and finally end with the width controller, bottom right.
