CUBASE SELogical Presets, Transformer and Input Transformer 4 – 61
Selecting a function
The pop-up menu in the top left corner of the Transformer is where you 
select the function – the basic type of editing to be performed. When 
you select an option from the pop-up menu, the field to the right dis-
plays a clarifying text, making it easier to see what the function does.
The current settings are automatically applied in real time during play-
back or live playing.
Below, the available options are...

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 (relevant for all function types except Delete).
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...

Set to fixed value
This sets the Action Target to the value specified in the Parameter 1 
column.
Transpose to Scale
This is only available when Action Target is set to Value 1, and when the 
filter conditions are specifically set up to find notes (a “Type = Note” 
filter condition line has been added). When “Transpose to Scale” is se-
lected, you can specify a musical scale using the Parameter 1 and 2 
columns. Parameter 1 is the key (C,...

Applying the defined actions
• Again, when using the Transformer MIDI effect the processing is applied 
to the events played back from the track (or played live “thru” the track) 
as soon as you set it up.
Since no existing events on the track are affected by the Transformer setting, there is 
no need for undo.
The Input Transformer
This function allows you to selectively filter out and change MIDI data 
coming to a MIDI track before it...

•Select Global to make Input Transformer settings that affect all MIDI 
inputs (and thereby all MIDI tracks).
•Select Local to make Input Transformer settings for this track only.
In both cases, the button lights up and the Input Transformer opens.
Handling the four modules
The Input Transformer is really four separate transformers, or modules.
•You select which module to view and make settings for by clicking its 
button in the Selected...

The two modes
The Mode pop-up menu contains two options: Filter and Transform.
•In Filter mode, only the filter conditions (the upper list) are taken into 
account. All events matching the conditions set up will be filtered out 
(excluded from the recording).
•In Transform mode, events matching the filter conditions will be trans-
formed according to the settings in the action list (the lower list).
Setting up filtering and actions
