Track Control
The Track Control effect contains three ready-made con-
trol panels for adjusting parameters on a GS or XG com-
patible MIDI device. The Roland GS and Yamaha XG
protocols are extensions of the General MIDI standard, al-
lowing for more sounds and better control of various in-
strument settings. If your instrument is compatible with
GS or XG, the Track Controls effect allows you to adjust
sounds and effects in your instrument from within Cubase.
Selecting a control panel
At the top of the Track Controls effect window you will
find a pop-up menu. This is where you select which of the
available control panels to use:
About the Reset and Off buttons
Regardless of the selected mode, you will find two buttons
labelled “Off” and “Reset” at the top of the control panel:
• Clicking the Off button will set all controls to their low-
est value, without sending out any MIDI messages.
• Clicking the Reset button will set all parameters to their
default values, and send out the corresponding MIDI mes-
sages.
For most parameters, the default values will be zero or “no adjustment”,
but there are exceptions to this. For example, the default Reverb Send
settings are 64.
