The Logical Editor, Transformer and Input Transformer
Searching for element types
Selecting Type as the Filter Target allows you to find ele-
ments of a certain type only.
• The Condition column contains only three options: Equal, Un-
equal and All Types.
• Clicking the Parameter 1 column displays a pop-up menu, list-
ing the available types (Note, Poly Pressure, Controller, etc.).
The Logical Editor will find all elements matching or not
matching the selected type (depending on the Condition).
Searching for properties
On the Filter Target pop-up menu, you will find an option
called Property. This allows you to search for properties
that are not part of the MIDI standard but rather Cubase-
specific settings.
When the Property option is selected, the Condition col-
umn has two options: “Property is set” and “Property is not
set”. Which property to look for is selected in the Parame-
ter 1 column. The options are “muted”, “selected” and
“empty”. Two examples:
Here, the Logical Editor will find all muted events.
Here, the Logical Editor will find all events that are selected and muted.
Searching for event contexts
On the Filter Target pop-up menu, you will find an option
called “Last Event”. This can be used to perform context-
dependent searches (especially useful in the Input Trans-
former).
“Last Event” indicates the state of an event which has al-
ready passed the Input Transformer/Logical Editor. The
condition has to be combined with Parameter 1 and Pa-
rameter 2.
Below, you will find a few examples on how the Last Event
filter target can be used.
Here, the action will only be performed when the sustain
pedal is down:
In this example, the action will be performed when the
note C1 is pressed (the “Note is playing” condition is only
available in the Input Transformer and in the Transformer
effect):
In this example, the action will be performed after playing
the C1 note:
Combining multiple condition lines
As described above, you can add condition lines by click-
ing the Add button (+) below the list. The result of com-
bining condition lines depends on the boolean And/Or
operators and the brackets.
The bool column
By clicking in the “bool” column to the right in the list, you
can select a boolean operator: “And” or “Or”. A boolean
operator combines two condition lines and determines the
result in the following way:
• If two condition lines are combined with a boolean And,
both conditions must be fulfilled for an element to be found.
The Logical Editor will only find elements that are notes and start at the
beginning of the third bar.
!
As mentioned above, selecting Type = Note or
Type = Controller adds some additional functionality
to the Logical Editor. You should make it a habit to
add a Type condition when applicable.
