MIDI Editors
There are several ways to edit MIDI in Cubase. You can use the tools and functions in the Project window for large-scale editing or the functions on the MIDI menu to process MIDI parts in various ways. To manually edit your MIDI data on a graphical interface, you can use the MIDI editors.
Global Tracks
The Global Tracks section of the Key Editor and the Drum Editor Inspector allows you to show events on global tracks at the top of the editor event display, so that you can see them with MIDI events.
Editing Events on Global Tracks
You can select, add, and edit events in the global tracks event display of the Key Editor or the Drum Editor. Any changes that you perform are synchronized with the Project window event display.
Keyboard Focus in the Event Display
The different zones in the Key Editor and the Drum Editor event display can be controlled via key commands. For a key command to have effect on a specific zone, this zone needs to have the keyboard focus.
