SECTION II - RECORDING MIDI WITH THE LAMBDA STUDIO™
The Lambda Studio™ also functions as a MIDI interface. This allows you to record MIDI
data into a MIDI track of Cubase
®
LE 4, and play that MIDI data back from the computer
into a keyboard, sound module or effects processor.
Here is an example of recording a MIDI track in Cubase LE 4 using a MIDI keyboard:
1. To record MIDI data into the computer, connect the MIDI out from the keyboard
to the MIDI In on the Lambda Studio. Connect the MIDI Out from the Lambda
Studio hardware to the MIDI in on the keyboard.
MIDI IN goes to MIDI
OUT of the keyboard
MIDI OUT goes to MIDI
IN of the keyboard
2. To hear your keyboard, you either need to run the line output of the keyboard to
one (mono) or two (stereo) Line inputs on the back of the Lambda Studio, or
use the keyboard's headphone output.
3. Open Cubase LE 4 and start a new default project. Click on the gray area (not on
the buttons) of the MIDI Track 1 window (labeled MIDI 01).
4. In the Inspector, click the IN: box and select Lexicon
®
USB MIDI.
5. Click the OUT: box and select Lexicon USB MIDI for the MIDI
outputs. Click the Record Enable button on MIDI track 1.
Record Button
6. Click the Record button on the Transport and play your keyboard. You are now
recording MIDI data from the keyboard. If you don’t see data in the track, check
the settings of the keyboard to make sure it’s set to transmit on the same MIDI
channel that Cubase LE 4 is set to receive on. In some cases, you may want to set
the keyboard to “local off” and set Cubase LE 4 to “Echo” mode. For more infor-
mation, consult the Cubase LE 4 online manual and your keyboard’s manual.
