Setting up Your System
To use Cubase, you must set up your audio, and if required, your MIDI system.
Setting up MIDI
You must set up your MIDI equipment before you can use it in Cubase.
MIDI Connections
To play back and record MIDI data from your MIDI device, for example, a MIDI keyboard, you need to connect the MIDI ports.
Setting up All MIDI Inputs
When you record MIDI, you can specify which MIDI input each recording MIDI track should use. However, you can also record any MIDI data from any MIDI input. For this to work, you must first set up which inputs are included when you select All MIDI Inputs for a MIDI track.

Setting up All MIDI Inputs

When you record MIDI, you can specify which MIDI input each recording MIDI track should use. However, you can also record any MIDI data from any MIDI input. For this to work, you must first set up which inputs are included when you select All MIDI Inputs for a MIDI track.

Procedure

Select Studio > Studio Setup.
In the Devices list, select MIDI Port Setup.
Activate In ‘All MIDI Inputs’ for a port.

Note
If you have connected a MIDI remote control unit, make sure to deactivate the In ‘All MIDI Inputs’ option for that MIDI input. This avoids accidental recording of data from the remote control when All MIDI Inputs is selected as input for a MIDI track.
Click OK.

Result

When you select All MIDI Inputs on the Input Routing pop-up menu of a MIDI track in the Inspector, the MIDI track uses all MIDI inputs that you specified in the MIDI Port Setup.
