MIDI realtime parameters and effects
Introduction
For each MIDI track, you can set up a number of track pa-
rameters, or modifiers, and MIDI effects. These affect how
the MIDI data is played back, “transforming” MIDI events
in real time before they are sent to the MIDI outputs.
On the following pages, the available parameters and ef-
fects are described. Keep in mind:
• The actual MIDI events will not be affected – the changes
happen “on the fly”.
• Since the modifier settings don’t change the actual MIDI data
on the track, they will not be reflected in the MIDI editors. To
convert the track settings to “real” MIDI events, use the Freeze
MIDI Modifiers function or the Merge MIDI in Loop function
(see “Making your settings permanent” on page 330).
The Inspector – General handling
The MIDI modifiers and effects are set up in the Inspector
(although some settings are available in the mixer as well).
Here’s a brief rundown on how to handle the Inspector:
• To show or hide the Inspector, click the Inspector icon
on the Project window toolbar.
• For a MIDI track, up to eight sections (seven in Cubase
Studio) are available. Which of these sections are dis-
played in the Inspector is determined in the setup context
menu or the Setup dialog of the Inspector.
For information about setting up the Inspector, see “The Setup dialogs”
on page 466.
• You can fold or unfold the sections individually by click-
ing on the section name.
Clicking the name for a hidden section brings it to view and hides the
other sections. [Ctrl]/[Command]-clicking the tab allows you to hide or
show a section without affecting other sections. Finally, [Alt]/[Option]-
clicking a tab shows or hides all sections in the Inspector.

Ö Folding or hiding (via the Setup dialog) a section does
not affect the functionality but merely hides the section
from view.
This means your settings will still be active even if you fold or hide the In-
spector settings.
