Naming MIDI Ports
MIDI inputs and outputs are often displayed with long and complicated names. In
Cubase, you can rename your MIDI ports to more descriptive names.
PROCEDURE
1. Select Devices > Device Setup.
2. In the Devices list, select MIDI Port Setup.
The available MIDI inputs and outputs are listed. On Windows systems, the device to
choose depends on your system.
3. Click in the Show As column and type in a new name.
4. Click OK.
RESULT
The new port names appear on the MIDI Input and Output Routing pop-up menus.
Setting the MIDI Input
In the Inspector, you set the MIDI input for the track.
PROCEDURE
1. In the track list, select the track to which you want to assign a MIDI input.
2. In the topmost Inspector section, open the Input Routing pop-up menu and
select an input.
The available inputs on the menu depend on the type of MIDI interface that you are
using. If you hold down [Shift]-[Alt]/[Option], the selected MIDI input is used for all
selected MIDI tracks.
NOTE
If you select All MIDI Inputs, the track will receive MIDI data from all available MIDI
inputs.
