Steinberg Cubase LE Operation Manual

CUBASE LEThe Input Transformer 20 – 421
Searching for MIDI channels
Each MIDI event contains a MIDI channel setting (1-16). Normally, 
these settings are not used, since the MIDI event plays back on the 
MIDI channel set for its track. However, you can come across MIDI 
parts with events set to different channels, if you record MIDI from an 
instrument sending on several different channels (e.g. a master key-
board with different key zones).
Searching for MIDI channel values is straightforward; you...

Combining multiple condition lines
As described above, you can add condition lines by clicking the Add 
Line button to the right of the list. The result of combining condition 
lines depends on the boolean And/Or operators.
The bool column
By clicking in the boolean column to the right in the list, you can select 
a boolean operator: And or Or. A bool operator separates two condi-
tion lines and determines the result in the following way:
• If two condition lines...

Specifying actions
The lower list in the Input Transformer window is the action list. This is 
where you specify any changes that should be made to the found 
events.
The handling of the action list is similar to the filter condition list, but 
without the booleans. You simply add lines by clicking the Add Line 
button to the right, and fill out the columns as required. To remove a 
superfluous action line, select it and click the Delete Line button.
Below, the...

Operation
This setting determines what to do with the Action Target. The op-
tions on this pop-up menu are different depending on the selected 
Action Target. Below, all available operations are listed:
Add
Adds the value specified in the Parameter 1 column to the Action 
Target.
Subtract
Subtracts the value specified in the Parameter 1 column from the 
Action Target.
Multiply by
Multiplies the Action Target value with the value specified in the 
Parameter 1...

Set Relative Random Values between
This will add a random value to the current Action Target value. The 
added random value will be within the range specified with Parameter 
1 and 2. Note that these can be set to negative values. 
For example, if you set Parameter 1 to -20 and Parameter 2 to +20, 
the original Action Target value will get a random variation, never ex-
ceeding ±20.
Set to fixed value
This sets the Action Target to the value specified in the...

Mirror
This is only available when Action Target is set to Value 1 or Value 2. 
When this option is selected, the values will be “mirrored” or “flipped” 
around the value set in the Parameter 1 column.
In the case of notes, this will invert the scale, with the key set in the 
Parameter 1 column as “center point”.

CUBASE LE21 – 428 The Tempo Track Editor
Background
In Cubase LE, the tempo can either be fixed through the whole project 
(this is called “Rehearsal tempo”) or follow the Tempo track (this is 
called “Master tempo”), which may contain tempo changes.
•To switch between Rehearsal mode and Master Tempo track mode, 
use the Master button on the Transport bar or in the Tempo Track 
Editor.
When the Master button is activated, the tempo follows the Tempo track, when it is de-
activated, the Rehearsal Tempo is...

The toolbar
The toolbar contains various tools and settings. The Tempo and Sig-
nature displays to the right allow you to view and edit the value of the 
selected tempo curve point or time signature event, much like the info 
line in other editors.
The ruler
The ruler in the Tempo Track Editor shows the timeline. As in other 
windows, you can select a display format by clicking on the arrow but-
ton to the right of the ruler, and selecting an option from the...

•If “Time Linear” is selected, the ruler, time signature area and tempo 
curve display will be linear in relation to the timeline.
This means that if the ruler shows bars and beats, the distance between the bar lines 
will vary depending on the tempo.
•If “Bars+Beats Linear” is selected, the ruler, time signature area and 
tempo curve display will be linear in relation to beats.
This means that if the ruler shows bars and beats, the distance between beats will be...
