How Cubase VST records MIDI Channel data
Each MIDI Event that Cubase VST records has a MIDI Channel number.
If for example you set your MIDI keyboard to transmit on MIDI Channel 5, all the 
notes, Pitch Bend data, program change or whatever you transmit from it, will have 
the MIDI Channel number 5.
This keyboard transmits on MIDI Channel 5.
Some MIDI devices can transmit on more than one MIDI Channel. In this case the 
MIDI input data coming in to Cubase VST will contain mixed channel numbers.
This keyboard transmits on two MIDI Channels, – 2 and 6. It may for example transmit each 
channel from one side of a split point.
Cubase VST stores the MIDI Channel with the Event. If for example you look in 
List Edit (which you will learn about later in this manual), you can see the MIDI 
Channel for each Event that has been recorded.
