Re: MIDI keyboard in Cubase Posted by Klaus Pingel (from: 62.54.181.238) on May 30, 2001 at 13:17:31: In Reply to: MIDI keyboard in Cubase posted by Patrick on May 30, 2001 at 10:34:12: Dear Patrick, Altough your question is not very precise, but i will try to give some answers. First it depends on what sort of Keyboard you have. Then it depends on the soundcard. I assume you have your Keybord conncted to the soundcart with MIDI- cable and all drivers installed, especially the MPU and the Joystick Driver that were delivered with your Soundcard. After having started Cubase you should first visit the "Options" menue and make sure that " MIDI Thru" is activated. Then look at the left side of the Song window, to audio and midi track selection.Select a midi channel (Channel 1 for Piano or Channel 10 for Drums) and the midi in/out port you Keyboard is connected with. Most soundcards offer 1 or 2 ports, in most cases only one of them is a fully working "Midi in/out" interface. The best best way to find out the appropriate one, is to select them one after the other while playing something with the Keyboard. Now you should be able to play the wavetables on your soundcard. If you want to play your Keybord patches it is more difficult, it depends on the type of Keyboard, ist it a Masterkeybd.? Is it a Workstation ? Is ist a simple controller with a few patch banks ? Does it have On - board Speakers ? If you tell me a little bit more about the Instrument, i will maybe able to help you better. Simply post a "Re:" to this article, i will read it.
