MIDI devices
To build the MIDI connection, you have to activate the
Create Multiple option in the Add Subnodes dialog.
Proceed like in our following example:
1. Select the device in the list to the left.
2. Click on the Add Subnodes button.
3. Enter a name for the Subnodes, e.g. “Channel”, and
activate the Create Multiple option.
4. Enter the Variable Name “channel”, the Variable
Range, e.g. “1-12”, and click OK.
This way, 12 channels with identical settings are generated.
Ö If you want to create only one MIDI channel, e.g.
Channel 9, simply enter “9” as range.
5. Add more multiple subnodes, e.g. “channel B” and a
range from “13-16”, with the Create Multiple option acti-
vated.
This way, you will generate a second set of four subnodes with identical
settings.
6. You can now test the resulting configuration by adding
a parameter to channel 1. The parameter will appear in ev-
ery channel from 1-12, because of their identical setting,
but not in the channels 13-16.
For a practical example of this approach, see “Defining a
SysEx device – a tutorial (Cubase only)” on page 39.
If you want to give the subnode “Channel 5” an individual
setting now, you have to delete “Channel 5” and add it as a
new subnode (with the Create Multiple option activated).
Ö A drawback of the approach described here is that
you can never activate the Snapshot option for Channels,
see “Working with snapshots” on page 32.
