MIDI Editors
There are several ways to edit MIDI in Cubase. You can use the tools and functions
in the Project window for large-scale editing or the functions on the MIDI menu to
process MIDI parts in various ways. To manually edit your MIDI data on a graphical
interface, you can use the MIDI editors.
• The Key Editor is the default MIDI editor, presenting notes graphically in a
piano roll-style grid. The Key Editor also allows for detailed editing of
non-note events such as MIDI controllers.
• The Drum Editor is similar to the Key Editor, but each key corresponds to a
separate drum sound.
You can use the Drum Editor to edit drum or percussion parts.
• The Score Editor shows MIDI notes as a musical score and offers basic
score editing and printing.
