NOTE
Normally, the MIDI channel information is overridden by the MIDI channel setting for the track.
However, if you set the track to the
Any MIDI channel, the notes will be played back on their
original channels.
Continuous Messages
Pitchbend, aftertouch, and controllers, such as modulation wheel, sustain pedal, volume, etc. are
considered MIDI continuous events, as opposed to the momentary key down and key up
messages.
You can record continuous messages together or independently from the notes, that is,
afterwards or before.
You can record continuous messages on their own tracks, separately from the notes to which
they belong. As long as you set the two tracks to the same output and MIDI channel, it will
appear to the MIDI instrument as if you made the two recordings at the same time.
Program Change Messages
When you switch from one program to another on your synthesizer or on another MIDI
keyboard, a number corresponding to that program is sent out via MIDI as a Program Change
Message.
You can record Program Change Messages together or independently from the notes, that is,
afterwards or before.
You can record Program Change Messages on their own tracks, separately from the notes to
which they belong. As long as you set the two tracks to the same output and MIDI channel, it will
appear to the MIDI instrument as if you made the two recordings at the same time.
System Exclusive Messages
System Exclusive (SysEx) messages are special types of MIDI messages that are used to send
data that only makes sense to a unit of a certain make and type.
SysEx can be used to transmit a list of the numbers that make up the settings of one or more
sounds in a synth.
Reset Function
The Reset function sends out note-off messages and resets controllers on all MIDI channels. This
is sometimes necessary if you experience hanging notes, constant vibrato, etc. when punching in
and out on MIDI recordings with pitchbend or controller data.
●
To perform a MIDI reset manually, select MIDI > Reset.
●
If you want Cubase to perform a MIDI reset on stop, activate Reset on Stop in the
Preferences dialog (MIDI page).
●
If you want Cubase to insert a reset event at the end of a recorded part, activate Insert
Reset Events after Record in the Preferences dialog (MIDI page).
This resets controller data such as sustain, aftertouch, pitchbend, modulation, and breath
control. This is useful if a MIDI part is recorded and the sustain pedal is still held after
stopping recording. Usually, this would cause all following parts to be played with sustain,
as the pedal off command was not recorded.
