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, select File> Preferences> MIDI
and activate Reset on Stop.
If you want Cubase to insert a reset event at the end of a recorded part, select File>
Preferences> MIDI and activate Insert Reset Events after Record.
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.

MIDI Record Modes
By selecting a MIDI Record Mode you decide what happens to any existing parts on the track
where you are recording. MIDI tracks can play back all events in overlapping parts. If you
record several parts in the same locations or move parts so that they overlap, you will hear
the events in all parts.
To access the record modes, select Transport> MIDI Record Mode.
You can also access the MIDI Record Modes by clicking to the right of the MIDI symbol
in the Record Modes section in the Transport panel.
MIDI Record Mode
New Parts
Existing parts that are overlapped by a new recording are kept. The new recording
is saved as a new part.
Merge
Existing events in parts that are overlapped by a new recording are kept. The
newly recorded events are added to the existing part.
Replace
Existing events in parts that are overlapped by a new recording are replaced.
NOTE
In Merge or Replace mode you can activate Record in Editor to record MIDI data in the editor.
For this to work, the editor must have the focus. Otherwise, the data is recorded on the MIDI
track in the Project window.
MIDI Cycle Record Mode
When you record MIDI in cycle mode, the result not only depends on the MIDI record mode,
but also on the cycle record mode that is selected in the MIDI Cycle Record Mode section.
