Cubase SX problem
View this Thread in Original format

Ok this is very simple, I just got cubase SX and when i import Midi files I cant see any visual representation of the Midi track on the actual track in the arrange window, Im assuming this is just a basic prefrence setting but I cant seem to find it. Anyone know where i can change that setting?

I am a long time user of Logic and Protools so i figured i would give cubase a try to expand my horizens :D

just expand the width of your track lane. If you have them thin you don't see anything. :D

I think the midifile-track ends up at the bottom of your tracklist. Try scrolling all the way down.

Cheers.

You just need to zoom in a bit more to be able to see it. Its the same with audio files in that you cant see the wave if the lane size is too small and/or you are zoomed too far out. Just double click on it to bring it up full screen though.

haha. Ok when you drag and drop midi files onto a track instead of putting the file on the track you drag it to it creates a new midi track for it. Thats kinda annoying!!

thanks guys :)

If you want to bring in a midi file, go file --> import --> midi file. It will ask you a question about making a new something or other, click no. It will then bring in your midi file on a new channel. You don't have to create a midi channel.

You only "drag" in a midi file if you plan to create one and do everything by mouse. If you want to record a midi file using a keyboard, create a midi file, select the input and the midi controller/keyobard, record enable it, set marker to where you want it to start recording, hit record, press black and white keys, watch notes come in on midi file as you record.

Ya I know.

Im using groove control midi files with spectrasonics stylus, thats why im dragging and droping,
