Setting the MIDI Channel and Output
The MIDI channel and output settings determine where the recorded MIDI is routed
during playback. They are also relevant for monitoring MIDI in Cubase. You can
select the channel and output in the track list or in the Inspector.
PROCEDURE
1. In the track list, select the track to which you want to assign a MIDI channel
and output.
2. In the topmost Inspector section, open the Output Routing pop-up menu
and select an output.
The available outputs on the menu depend on the type of MIDI interface that you are
using. If you hold down [Shift]-[Alt]/[Option], the selected MIDI output is used for all
selected MIDI tracks.
3. Open the Channel pop-up menu and select a MIDI channel.
NOTE
If you select the Any MIDI channel, the MIDI material is routed to the channels that are
used by your MIDI instrument.
Selecting a Sound
You can select sounds from within Cubase by instructing the program to send
Program Change and Bank Select messages to your MIDI device.
PROCEDURE
1. In the track list, select the track to which you want to assign a sound.
2. In the track list or the Inspector, open the Program Selector pop-up menu
and select a program.
Program Change messages give access to 128 different program locations.
3. If your MIDI instruments have more than 128 programs, you can open the
Bank Selector pop-up menu and select different banks, each containing 128
programs.
NOTE
Bank Select messages are recognized differently by different MIDI instruments. The
structure and numbering of banks and programs may also vary. Refer to the
documentation of your MIDI instruments for details.
