Note Messages
Cubase records note-on, note-off, and MIDI channel messages.
If you press and release a key on your synthesizer or on another MIDI keyboard, the following
messages are recorded:
Note-on (key down)
Note-off (key up)
MIDI channel
NOTE
Normally, the MIDI channel information is overridden by the MIDI channel setting for the track.
However, if you set the track
Any as the MIDI channel, the notes is played back on their original
channels.
Continuous Messages
Pitchbend, aftertouch, and controllers, such as modulation wheel, sustain pedal, volume, etc.
are considered continuous MIDI events, as opposed to the momentary key down and key up
messages.
You can record continuous messages with or separate from the notes, that is, afterwards or
before.
You can record continuous messages on their own tracks, separately from the notes to which
they belong. As long as you set the two tracks to the same output and MIDI channel, the MIDI
instrument
identies them as two simultaneously created recordings.
Program Change Messages
When you switch from one program to another on your synthesizer or on another MIDI
keyboard, a number corresponding to that program is sent out as a Program Change Message
via MIDI.
You can record Program Change Messages with or separate from the notes, that is, afterwards or
before.
