| Of course it is, you put them on MIDI tracks like any other track. Of course they have to be MIDI inserts, not audio inserts. |

You can put midi effect inserts. These dont actually affect the audio of your hardware but can do things like chord single notes, add delay or groove quantisation etc...
I think they may only have been included in SX2, but go to your mixer and there should be both an audio channel fader and a midi channel fader. Next to the midi is an insert/edit button. Click it and it'll take you to the insert slots, should be self explanatory from there. |

| I know about the midi effects but theyre crap in my opinion and are pretty useless. Iwas talking about eq, reverb, distortion etc |

Sheesh, lot of weird questions about MIDI tonight... I'm beginning to wonder if people on this forum understand what MIDI even is.
No, you cannot put distortion or eq on a MIDI track. Ever. In any situation. MIDI is just note and sysex data, not audio. |

| play a sound with whatever hardware u have.. press F3 to open the mixer, u will see the levels moving on the audio and MIDI channel in the mixer, simply press the `E` Icon and select the respective plugins |

Best you could do is reroute the hardware signal back into one of your cubase channels and apply your inserts on that channel. You would essentially be monitoring all your hardware through your PC then with FX over that particular channel.
To be honest I've never tried to this in cubase, but it works fine in Live and my guess is... if Live can do it, then SX should be able to. |

these are not midi effects, so they cannot be put in midi tracks. pretty logical, eh? those are audio effects, so they must be put on audio tracks - whether those are your synth recorded into your computer or virtual synth output, or some other audio source available in the mixer of your sequencer. |

Nope- they were introduced on cubase V3.0 on the atari....so every subsequent version post 1991 (including the original VST onwards) should have it... |

hey
in cubase, if you're trying to effect your midi track, you have to do it directly on that midi instrument, because as aigi said it's not actual sound or notes it's all data,
so click F3 to open up your mixer, click on the inserts sign -O- and load it up from there on your midi track
or in the arrange window..click on MIDI03 or whatever channel you're using, and minimize that so that you can see thte properties frmo your actual MIDI instrument. and theerre you can add your inserts as you wish
peace |

| I suppose you can route the output signal of the virus to one of the mixer channels in cubase, and add reverb and delay allowing you to play the virus real-time, and having the effects working real-time? |
