Activating Constrain Delay Compensation turns off VST plug-ins which are activated
for VST instrument channels, audio track channels that are record enabled, group
channels, and output channels. VST plug-ins which are activated for FX channels are
disregarded. After recording or using a VST instrument Constrain Delay
Compensation should be deactivated again in order to restore full delay compensation.

Importing MIDI Loops
You can import MIDI loops (file extension .midiloop) in Cubase. These files contain
MIDI part information (MIDI notes, controllers, etc.) and all the settings that are
saved in instrument track presets. This way, you can reuse instrument patterns in
other projects or applications, for example.
PROCEDURE
1. Select Media > MediaBay.
2. Optional: In the Results section, open the Select Media Types menu, and
activate MIDI Loops and Plug-in Presets.
3. In the results list, select a MIDI loop and drag it to an empty section in the
Project window.
RESULT
An instrument track is created and the instrument part is inserted at the position
where you dragged the file. The Inspector reflects all settings that are saved in the
MIDI loop, for example, the VST instrument that was used, applied insert effects,
track parameters, etc.
NOTE
You can also drag MIDI loops onto existing instrument or MIDI tracks. However, this
only imports the part information. This means this part only contains the MIDI data
(notes, controllers) that is saved in the MIDI loop, but no inspector settings or
instrument parameters.
