MIDI
Import to Left Locator
Aligns the imported MIDI file at the position of the left locator. If this option is
deactivated, MIDI files start at the project start position. If you choose to have a new
project created automatically, the MIDI file always starts at the project start position.
Import Markers
Imports any markers that have been added.
Import Dropped File as Single Part
Places the file on one track if you drag and drop a MIDI file into the project.
Ignore Master Track Events on Merge
Ignores tempo track data if you import a MIDI file into the current project. The
imported MIDI file will play according to the current Tempo track in the project.
If this option is deactivated, the Tempo Track Editor will be adjusted according to
the tempo information in the MIDI file.
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.
MIDI - MIDI Filter
This page allows you to prevent certain MIDI messages from being recorded and/or echoed by
the MIDI Thru function (thruput).
The page is divided into 4 sections:

from being recorded. It will, however, be thruput, and if already recorded, it will play
back normally.
Thru
Activate any of these options to prevent the corresponding type of MIDI message
from being thruput. It will, however, be recorded and played back normally.
