Importing MIDI Files

Auto Dissolve Format 0

Automatically dissolves imported MIDI files of type 0. Each embedded MIDI channel

in the file is placed on a separate track in the Project window.

If this option is deactivated, only one MIDI track is created. This track is set to MIDI

channel Any, allowing all MIDI events to play back on their original channels. You can

also use the Dissolve Part function on the MIDI menu to distribute the events onto

different tracks (or lanes) with different MIDI channels at a later stage.

Destination

Allows you to specify what happens when you drag a MIDI file into the project:

● MIDI Tracks creates MIDI tracks for the imported file.

● Instrument Tracks creates instrument tracks for each MIDI channel in the

MIDI file and lets the program automatically load appropriate presets.

● HALion Sonic SE multi-timbral creates several MIDI tracks, each routed to

a separate instance of HALion Sonic SE in the VST Instruments window, and

loads the appropriate presets.

NOTE

In Cubase LE, this is automatically set to MIDI Tracks.

Import Karaoke Lyrics as Text

Converts karaoke lyrics in the MIDI file to text that can be displayed in the Score

Editor. If this option is deactivated, lyrics are only shown in the List Editor.
