MIDI Cycle Record Mode
When you record MIDI in cycle mode, the result not only depends on the MIDI
Record Mode, but also on the Cycle Record Mode that is selected in the MIDI
Cycle Record Mode section.
Mix
For each completed lap, everything you record is added to what was
previously recorded. This is useful for building up rhythm patterns. Record a
hi-hat part on the first lap, the bass drum part on the second lap, etc.
Overwrite
As soon as you play a MIDI note or send any MIDI message, all MIDI that you
have recorded on previous laps is overwritten from that point. Make sure that
you stop playing before the next lap begins. Otherwise, you will overwrite the
entire take.
Keep Last
Each completed lap replaces the previously recorded lap. If you deactivate
recording or press Stop before the cursor reaches the right locator, the
previous take will be kept. If you do not play or input any MIDI during a lap,
nothing happens, and the previous take will be kept.
Quantizing MIDI Recordings
Cubase can automatically quantize MIDI notes on recording.
• To enable automatic quantizing, open the Transport panel and in the Record
Mode section, activate Auto Quantize.
The notes that you record are automatically quantized according to the
Quantize settings.
