MIDI effects
XG 1
The following controls are available when the XG 1 mode
is selected:
XG 2
In this mode, the parameters affect global settings in the
instrument(s). Changing one of these settings for a track
will in fact affect all MIDI instruments connected to the
same MIDI output, regardless of the MIDI channel setting
of the track. Therefore, to avoid confusion it might be a
good idea to create an empty track and use this only for
these global settings.
The following controls are available:
Transformer
The Transformer is a real-time version of the Logical Editor.
With this you can perform very powerful MIDI processing
on the fly, without affecting the actual MIDI events on the
track.
The Logical Editor is described in the corresponding
chapter in the Operation Manual. As the parameters and
functions are almost identical, the descriptions for the
Logical Editor also apply to the Transformer. Where there
are differences between the two, this is clearly stated.
Control Description
Send 1 Send level for the reverb effect.
Send 2 Send level for the chorus effect.
Send 3 Send level for the “variation” effect.
Attack Adjusts the attack time of the sound. Lowering this value
shortens the attack, while raising it gives a slower attack.
Middle position means no adjustment is made.
Release Adjusts the release time of the sound. Lowering this value
shortens the release, while raising it makes the release
time longer. Middle position means no adjustment is
made.
Harm.Cont Adjusts the harmonic content of the sound.
Bright Adjusts the brightness of the sound.
CutOff Adjusts the filter cutoff frequency.
Resonance Adjusts the filter resonance.
Control Description
Eff. 1 This allows you to select which type of reverb effect should
be used: No effect (the reverb turned off), Hall 1–2, Room
1–3, Stage 1–2 or Plate.
Eff. 2 This allows you to select which type of chorus effect
should be used: No effect (the chorus turned off), Chorus
1–3, Celeste 1–3 or Flanger 1–2.
Eff. 3 This allows you to select one of a large number of “varia-
tion” effect types. Selecting “No Effect” is the same as
turning off the variation effect.
Reset Sends an XG reset message.
MastVol This is used to control the Master Volume of an instru-
ment. Normally you should leave this in its highest posi-
tion and set the volumes individually for each channel
(with the volume faders in the Cubase mixer or in the
Inspector).
