Just having some fun with Cubase during these Covid times when there's nothing else to do really... Keep safe everybody.

This video demonstrates how to setup a basic Cubase template for the EastWest/Soundsonline Hollywood Orchestra instrument library.
The template uses the "multi instance" approach in which basically each instrument of the orchestra runs its own instance of the play_VST_x64 instrument. Expression maps are being used to switch from midi channel when a different instrument articulation is needed.
You can download the created template, presets and expression maps from this location:
