Commands for Patches
In the MIDI Device Manager, patches can be structured in banks, folders, and presets.
Activate Enable Edit to use the Commands pop-up menu for the selected device.
The Commands pop-up menu contains the following items:
- Create Bank
-
Creates a new bank in the Patch Banks list. You can rename this by clicking on it and typing a new name.
Cubase Pro only: If you specify more than one bank, a Bank Assignment option is added to the pop-up menu at the top of the window. Use this to assign banks to the different MIDI channels.
Cubase Artist only: If you specify more than one bank, a Bank Assignment button is added next to the Patch Banks button.
- New Folder
Creates a new subfolder in the selected bank or folder. This could correspond to a group of patches in the MIDI device, or just be a way for you to categorize sounds.
- New Preset
Adds a new preset in the selected bank or folder. If you select it, the corresponding MIDI events are shown to the right. The default program change value for a new preset is 0, but you can adjust the number in the Value column.
You can move presets between banks and folders via drag and drop.
- Add Multiple Presets
Allows you to set up a range of presets and add them to the selected bank or folder.
You can remove banks, folders, and presets by selecting them and pressing Backspace.
For details on which MIDI events are used for selecting patches in the MIDI device, consult its documentation.
