The Logical Editor, Transformer, and Input Transformer
Applying the defined actions
Once you have set up filter conditions, selected a function
and set the required actions (or loaded a preset), you ap-
ply the actions defined with the Logical Editor by clicking
the Apply button.
Logical Editor operations can be undone just like any
other editing.
Working with presets
The Presets pop-up menu at the top of the window allows
you to load, store, and manage Logical Editor presets.
• To load a preset, select it from the Presets pop-up
menu. If available, an explanatory text appears to the right
of the menu. When setting up your own presets, you can
click in this area and enter a description.
• You can also select Logical Presets directly from the
MIDI menu.
This allows you to apply a preset to the selected MIDI part, without hav-
ing to open the Logical Editor.
• It is also possible to select and apply Logical Presets
from within the List Editor (from the Mask menu).
• It is also possible to set up a key command for a preset.
That way you can conveniently apply the same operation
to several selected events in one go (for further informa
-
tion about setting up key commands, see the chapter “Key
commands” on page 541).
Storing your own settings as a preset
If you have made Logical Editor settings that you want to
use again, you can store them as a preset:
1. Click on the Store Preset button on the right of the
Preset menu.
A dialog for specifying a name for the new preset is displayed.
2. Enter a name for the preset and click OK.
The preset is stored.
Ö To remove a preset, load it and click on the Remove
Preset button.
Organizing and sharing presets
The Logical Editor presets are stored within the applica-
tion folder in the Presets\Logical Edit subfolder. While
these files cannot be edited “manually”, you can reorga-
nize them (e. g. putting them in subfolders) like any files.
This also makes it easy to share presets with other Cu-
base users, by transferring the individual preset files.
Ö The list of presets is read each time the Logical Editor
is opened.
The Input Transformer
This function allows you to filter out and change MIDI data
coming to a MIDI track before it is recorded. The Input
Transformer is very similar to the Transformer MIDI effect,
but contains four independent “modules”, for which you
can set up different filtering and actions. You can activate
any or all of these four modules.
Here are some of the things the Input Transformer allows
you to do:
• Set up split keyboard combinations for recording left and right
hands separately.
• Turn a controller like a foot pedal into MIDI notes (for playing
bass drum the right way).
• Filter out one specific type of MIDI data on one MIDI channel
only.
• Turn aftertouch into any controller (and vice versa).
• Invert velocity or pitch.
Again: four of these things can be done at the same time.
!
In the Logical Editor, processing is not performed un-
til you click the Apply button. When using the Trans-
former MIDI effect, there is no Apply button – the
current settings are automatically applied in realtime
during playback or live playing.
