Selecting a Sound

You can select sounds from within Cubase by instructing the program to send Program Change and Bank Select messages to your MIDI device.

Procedure

  1. In the track list, select the track to which you want to assign a sound.
  2. In the track list or the Inspector, open the Program Selector pop-up menu and select a program.

    Program Change messages give access to 128 different program locations.

  3. If your MIDI instruments have more than 128 programs, you can open the Bank Selector pop-up menu and select different banks, each containing 128 programs.
    Note

    Bank Select messages are recognized differently by different MIDI instruments. The structure and numbering of banks and programs may also vary. Refer to the documentation of your MIDI instruments for details.
