The Project Browser (Cubase only)
Ö For SysEx (system exclusive) events, you can only edit
the position (Start) in the list. However, clicking the Com-
ment column opens the SysEx Editor, in which you can
perform detailed editing of system exclusive events. For a
description of this, see “Working with SysEx messages”
on page 407.
Editing Note Expression data in the Project Browser
In the Project Browser, you can view and edit the MIDI
controller events or VST 3 events of a MIDI note with Note
Expression data (for further information about Note Ex
-
pression, see the chapter “Note Expression (Cubase
only)” on page 428).
To view and edit the Note Expression data content of a
MIDI note, proceed as follows:
1. In the Project Structure list, select the Note Expres-
sion subitem of the MIDI note that you want to view or edit.
In the event display, all MIDI controllers or VST 3 events within the Note
Expression data are listed.
2. In the event display, view and edit the parameter values.
This allows you to move an event by entering a different Start value, for
example. You can also delete single events to “thin out” the Note Expres
-
sion data content by selecting them and pressing [Delete].
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 the events you want to edit. The Filter pop-up menu
allows you to select a single event type for display.
When this option is selected, only Controller 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 menu 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.
Ö It is not possible to add MIDI controller events or
VST
3 events to Note Expression data.
Editing automation tracks
All kinds of Cubase automation (the automation tracks for
MIDI, instrument, audio, group, and FX channel tracks, or
the individual automation tracks for VST instruments,
ReWire channels, or input (Cubase only) and output bus
-
ses) are handled in the same way in the Project Browser.
