MIDI Connections
To play back and record MIDI data from your MIDI device, for example, a MIDI keyboard, you
need to connect the MIDI ports.
Connect the MIDI output port of your MIDI device to the MIDI input port of your audio hardware.
This way, the MIDI device sends MIDI data to be played back or recorded inside your computer.
Connect the MIDI input port of your MIDI device to the MIDI output port of your audio hardware.
This way, you can send MIDI data from
Cubase to the MIDI device. For example, you can record
your own playing, edit the MIDI data in Cubase, and then play it back on the keyboard and record
the audio that is coming out of the keyboard.
Showing or Hiding MIDI Ports
You can show the MIDI ports that you want to use and hide those that you do not use on the
MIDI pop-up menus in the program.

Setting up All MIDI Inputs
When you record MIDI, you can specify which MIDI input each recording MIDI track should use.
However, you can also record any MIDI data from any MIDI input. For this to work, you must
rst
set up which inputs are included when you select All MIDI Inputs for a MIDI track.
PROCEDURE
1. Select Studio> Studio Setup.

control when All MIDI Inputs is selected as input for a MIDI track.
