The MIDI Device manager allows you to install MIDI de-
vices. You can either select pre-configured MIDI devices
from a list, or define a device from scratch.

This opens the Mixer. All audio, MIDI, FX channel, and
group tracks in a project have a corresponding channel
strip in the Mixer, as do output busses and any activated
VST instruments and ReWire channels (not in Cubase LE).
Plug-in Information
The Plug-in Information window lists all installed VST
Plug-ins and shows various information about them.

cord time. This lets you see how much time you have left
for recording, depending on your project settings and
available hard disk space.

Opens a separate window showing the time display. This
is a larger view of the time display in the Transport panel,

tween your audio hardware and Cubase in various chan-
nel configurations (mono and stereo).

Opens the VST Instruments window, where you can se-
lect VST instruments. When a VST instrument has been

ting pop-up menu for MIDI tracks.

transfer rate.
