If your MIDI device is not included in the list of pre-configured devices (and is not a “plain” GM or XG device), you need to define it manually to make it possible to select patches by name.This is handled slightly differently for Cubase Pro and Cubase Artist.
Procedure
- In the MIDI Device Manager, click the Install Device button.
The Add MIDI Device dialog opens.
- Select “Define New…” and click OK.
The “Create New MIDI Device” dialog opens. For a description of the options in this dialog, see the separate PDF document “MIDI Devices”.
- In the Identical Channels list, activate the MIDI channels you would like the device to use.
This means that the device will receive Program Change over any MIDI channel. For a description of Identical and Individual Channels, see the separate PDF document “MIDI Devices”.
- Enter a name for the device at the top of the dialog, and click OK.
The device appears in the Installed Devices list, and the device node structure for the device is automatically shown in a new window.
- Select Patch Banks from the pop-up menu at the top of the window.
As you can see, the list is empty.
- Make sure that the Enable Edit checkbox is activated.
Now you can use the functions on the Commands pop-up menu on the left to organize the patch structure of the new device.
