MIDI recording specifics
2. Click the track name in the Inspector to make sure that the topmost section is
shown.
3. Open the Input Routing pop-up menu and select an input.
The available MIDI inputs are shown. The items on the menu depend on the type of
MIDI interface you are using.
• If you select the “All MIDI Inputs” option, the track will receive MIDI data from all
available MIDI inputs.
• If you hold down [Shift]-[Alt]/[Option] and select a MIDI input, this will be used for
all selected MIDI tracks.
Setting the MIDI channel and output
The MIDI channel and output settings determine where the recorded MIDI is routed
during playback, but are also relevant for MIDI Thru in Cubase. Channel and output
can be selected in the track list or in the Inspector. The procedure below describes
how to make the settings in the Inspector, but it can be done in largely the same
manner in the track list as well.
1. To select the tracks and show the settings in the Inspector, proceed as when
selecting a MIDI input (see above).
2. Open the Output Routing pop-up menu and select an output.
The available MIDI outputs are shown. The items on the menu depend on what
type of MIDI interface you are using.
• If you hold down [Shift]-[Alt]/[Option] and select a MIDI output, this is selected for
all selected MIDI tracks.
3. Use the Channel pop-up menu to select a MIDI channel for the track.
• If you set the track to MIDI channel “Any”, each MIDI event on the track will be sent
out on the channel stored in the event itself.
In other words, the MIDI material will be played back on the channels used by the
MIDI input device (the MIDI instrument you play during recording).
