MIDI Track Presets
You can use MIDI track presets for multi-timbral VST instruments (not in Cubase
LE).
When creating MIDI track presets you can either include the currently set channel
or the currently set patch.
The following data is saved in MIDI track presets:
• MIDI modifiers (Transpose, etc.)
• Output and Channel or Program Change
• Volume and pan
• Staff settings
• Color settings
• Drum map settings
Multi-Track Presets
You can use multi-track presets, for example, when recording setups that require
several microphones (a drum set or a choir, where you always record under the
same conditions) and you have to edit the resulting tracks in a similar way.
Furthermore, they can be used when working with layered tracks, where you use
several tracks to generate a certain sound instead of manipulating only one track.
If you select more than one track when creating a track preset, the settings of all
selected tracks are saved as one multi-track preset. Multi-track presets can only be
applied if the target tracks are of the same type, number, and sequence as the
tracks in the track preset, therefore, they should be used in recurring situations with
similar tracks and settings.
VST Presets
VST instrument presets behave like instrument track presets. You can extract
sounds from VST presets for use in instrument tracks.
