Import Karaoke Lyrics as Text
Converts karaoke lyrics in the MIDI le to text that can be displayed in the Score
Editor. If this option is deactivated, lyrics are only shown in the List Editor.
Importing MIDI Files
In Cubase, you can import MIDI les.
PROCEDURE
1. Select File > Import > MIDI File.
2. Optional: If a project is open, choose if you want to create a new project.
If you select No, the MIDI le is imported into the current project.
3. In the le dialog that opens, locate and select the MIDI le and click Open.
RESULT
The MIDI le is imported. The result depends on the contents of the MIDI le and the setting you
made in the
Import Options section in the Preferences dialog (MIDI—MIDI File page).

Yamaha XF Format
Cubase supports the Yamaha XF format. XF is an extension of the standard MIDI le format that
allows you to save song-specic data with a MIDI le of type 0.
When importing a MIDI le containing XF data, this data is placed in parts on separate tracks
called XF Data, Chord Data, or SysEx Data. You can edit such a part in the List Editor to add or
change lyrics, for example.
IMPORTANT
Do not change the order of events within the XF data or the event data itself, unless you have a
lot of experience with XF data.
Cubase can also export XF data as part of a MIDI le of type 0. If you do not want to export the XF
data together with the MIDI data, mute or delete the tracks containing the XF data.
MIDI Loops
In Cubase, you can import MIDI loops.
To import MIDI loops, use the MediaBay. MIDI loops have the le extension .midiloop.
