Importing MIDI Files
Cubase can import standard MIDI files. This allows you to transfer MIDI material to and from
virtually any MIDI application on any platform.
Import Options for MIDI Files
The Import Options for MIDI files allow you to specify what data is included in imported MIDI
files.
Extract First Patch
Converts the first Program Change and Bank Select events for each track to
Inspector settings for the track.
Extract First Volume/Pan
Converts the first MIDI Volume and Pan events for each track to Inspector settings
for the track.
Import Controller as Automation Tracks
Converts MIDI Controller events in the MIDI file to automation data for the
MIDI tracks. If this option is deactivated, controller data for the MIDI parts will be
imported.
Import to Left Locator
Aligns the imported MIDI file at the position of the left locator. If this option is
deactivated, MIDI files start at the project start position. If you choose to have a new
project created automatically, the MIDI file always starts at the project start position.
Import Markers
Imports Standard MIDI File Markers in the file and converts them to Cubase markers.
Import Dropped File as Single Part
Places the file on one track if you drag and drop a MIDI file into the project.
Ignore Master Track Events on Merge
Ignores tempo track data if you import a MIDI file into the current project. The
imported MIDI file will play according to the current Tempo track in the project.
If this option is deactivated, the Tempo Track Editor will be adjusted according to
the tempo information in the MIDI file.
Auto Dissolve Format 0
Automatically dissolves imported MIDI files of type 0. Each embedded MIDI channel
in the file is placed on a separate track in the Project window.
If this option is deactivated, only one MIDI track is created. This track is set to MIDI
channel Any, allowing all MIDI events to play back on their original channels. You can
also use the Dissolve Part function on the MIDI menu to distribute the events onto
different tracks (or lanes) with different MIDI channels at a later stage.
