• Drum maps are saved with the project files. If you have created or modi-
fied a drum map, you should use the Save function to store it as a sepa-
rate file, available for loading into other projects.
If you always want to have the same drum map(s) included in your projects, you may 
want to load these into the default project – see page 504.

The Input Transformer 

CUBASE LE20 – 414 The Input Transformer
Introduction
The Input Transformer function allows you to selectively filter out and 
change MIDI data coming to a MIDI track, before it is recorded. There 
are four independent “modules”, for which you can set up different fil-
tering and actions if you like. You can activate any or all of these four 
modules.
Here are some of the things the Input Transformer allows you to do:
• Make up split keyboard combinations for recording left and right hands sepa-
rately.
•...

Conditions
The options in the Condition column have the following meaning 
(please note that the available Condition options depend on the Filter 
Target setting):
Below, the different Filter Targets (and their corresponding Condition 
and Parameter options) are described in more detail.

Searching for Value 1 or Value 2
A MIDI event is composed of several values. The meanings of value 1 
and 2 depend on the type of event:
• System Exclusive events are not included in the table above, since they 
don’t use value 1 and 2.
Since value 1 and 2 have different meanings for different events, search-
ing for e.g. value 2 = 64 would both find notes with the velocity 64 and 
controllers with the amount 64, etc. If this is not what you want, you can 
add an...

The general procedures when searching for value 1 or 2 are:
• If you select any Condition other than the Range options, you set up a specific 
value in the Parameter 1 column.
Here, the Input Transformer will find all events with a value 2 less than 80.
• If you select the Inside or Outside Range option in the Condition column, the 
range consists of the values between Parameter 1 and Parameter 2. 
Note that Parameter 1 should have the lower value.
