The Project Browser
The list columns for MIDI parts:
Ö For SysEx (system exclusive) events, you can only edit
the position (Start) in the list.
However, clicking the Comment column opens the SysEx Editor, in which
you can perform detailed editing of system exclusive events. For a descrip-
tion of this, see “Working with System Exclusive messages” on page 390.
Filtering MIDI events
When you are editing MIDI in the Project Browser, the
large number of different MIDI events displayed can make
it hard to find your way. To remedy this, the Filter pop-up
menu allows you to select a single event type for display.
When this option is selected, only Program Change events will be
shown in the event display. To show all event types, select the top
item (“---”) from the menu.
Creating MIDI parts
When a MIDI track is selected in the Project Structure list,
you can create empty MIDI parts on the track by clicking
the Add button. This will insert a part between the left and
right locator.
Creating MIDI events
You can use the Project Browser to create new MIDI
events:
1. Select a MIDI part in the Project Structure list.
2. Move the project cursor to the desired position for the
new event.
3. Use the Add pop-up above the event display to select
which type of MIDI event to add.
4. Click the Add button.
An event of the selected type is added to the part, at the project cursor
position. If the cursor is outside the selected part, the event is added at
the beginning of the part.
Editing Automation tracks
All kinds of Cubase automation (the automation subtracks
for MIDI, instrument, audio, group and FX channel tracks
or the individual automation tracks for VST Instruments,
ReWire channels or Input/Output busses) are handled in
the same way in the Project Browser. Each Automation
item in the Project Structure list will have a number of sub-
entries, one for each automated parameter. Selecting one
of these parameters in the Project Structure list shows its
automation events in the list:
You can use the two columns in the list to edit the position
of the events and their values.
Parameter Description
Name The name of the part.
Start The start position of the part. Editing this value is the
same as moving the part.
End The end position of the part. Changing this is the same as
resizing the part (and will automatically affect the Length
value as well).
Length The length of the part. Changing this resizes the part and
automatically changes the End value.
Offset This adjusts the start position of the events within the
part. Adjusting this value is the same as sliding the con-
tents of the part in the Project window (see “Sliding the
contents of an event or part” on page 50). Setting a pos-
itive Offset value is the same as sliding the contents to
the left, while a negative Offset corresponds to sliding
the contents to the right.
Mute Click in this column to mute or unmute the part.
