The Logical Editor, Transformer, and Input Transformer
The Input Transformer
Organizing and sharing presets
The Logical Editor presets are stored within the application folder in the
Presets\Logical Edit subfolder. While these files cannot be edited “manually”, you can
reorganize them (e.
g. putting them in subfolders) like any files.
This also makes it easy to share presets with other Cubase users, by transferring the
individual preset files.
Ö The list of presets is read each time the Logical Editor is opened.
The Input Transformer
This function allows you to filter out and change MIDI data coming to a MIDI track
before it is recorded. The Input Transformer is very similar to the Transformer MIDI
effect, but contains four independent “modules”, for which you can set up different
filtering and actions. You can activate any or all of these four modules.
Here are some of the things the Input Transformer allows you to do:
- Set up split keyboard combinations for recording left and right hands separately.
- Turn a controller like a foot pedal into MIDI notes (for playing bass drum the right
way).
- Filter out one specific type of MIDI data on one MIDI channel only.
- Turn aftertouch into any controller (and vice versa).
- Invert velocity or pitch.
Again: four of these things can be done at the same time.
Opening the Input Transformer
To open the Input Transformer for a MIDI track, select the track and click the Input
Transformer button in the Inspector to open the pop-up menu.
• Select Global to make Input Transformer settings that affect all MIDI inputs (and
thereby all MIDI tracks).
• Select Local to make Input Transformer settings for this track only.
In both cases, the button lights up and the Input Transformer opens.
