Converting MIDI Control Change Messages into Note Expression Data

You can convert the MIDI control change messages on controller lanes into note expression data.

Prerequisite

The MIDI control change messages that you want to record are activated in the Note Expression MIDI Setup dialog. You have a MIDI part with controller data written on controller lanes.

Procedure

  1. Open the Key Editor for the MIDI part.
  2. Select MIDI > Note Expression > Convert to Note Expression.

Result

The MIDI control messages contained in the controller lanes are converted to note expression data, and the data on the controller lanes is deleted.

Cubase searches for notes that sound at the same time as the control change messages. If several notes play at the same time, the same note expressions are attributed to them, with the same values. Release phases are automatically created where necessary, so that no controller data is lost during this process.

Important

If you want to edit the MIDI notes after the conversion, you might need to consolidate the controller data.
