CUBASE SX/SLThe Logical Editor, Transformer and Input Transformer 4 – 121
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 Logical Editor 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...

Searching for controllers
There is similar extended functionality when searching for controllers: 
If you’ve added an additional “Type = Controller” condition line, the 
Logical Editor will “know” you are searching for controllers. The Pa-
rameter 1 column will then show the names of the MIDI controllers 
(Modulation, Volume, etc.) when Value 1 is selected as Filter Target.
Searching for MIDI channels
Each MIDI event contains a...

Searching for properties
On the Filter Target pop-up menu you will find an option called Prop-
erty. This allows you to search for properties that are not part of the 
MIDI standard but rather event-specific Cubase SX/SL settings.
When the Property option is selected, the Condition column has two 
options: “Property is set” and “Property is not set”. Which property to 
look for is selected in the Parameter 1 column. The options are...

Searching for event contexts
On the Filter Target pop-up menu you will find an option called “Last 
Event”. This can be used to perform context dependant searches 
(especially useful in the Input Transformer).
"Last Event" indicates the state of an event which has already passed 
the Input Transformer/Logical Editor. The condition has to be com-
bined with Parameter 1 and Parameter 2. 
A few examples on how the Last Event...

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 and the brackets.
The bool column
By clicking in the “bool” column to the right in the list, you can select 
a boolean operator: “And” or “Or”. A boolean operator separates two 
condition lines and determines the...

Using brackets
The bracket (parenthesis) columns let you enclose two or more condi-
tion lines, dividing the conditional expression into smaller units. This is 
only relevant when you have three or more condition lines and want to 
use the boolean Or operator. This is how it works:
•Without brackets, the conditional expressions are evaluated according 
to their order in the list.
In this case we have the expression Type = Note AND...

Editing filter conditions as text
The area directly below the filter condition list shows you the current 
filter conditions as text. It also allows you to enter and edit the filter 
conditions in textual form. For tips on the syntax, please study the in-
cluded presets.
•There is no additional functionality involved when editing filter condi-
tions as text; it is simply another way to make settings. 
When you enter something in...

Selecting a function
The pop-up menu in the top left corner of the Logical Editor 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 
displays a clarifying text, making it easier to see what the function does.
In the Logical Editor, processing isn’t performed until you click the Do It 
button. When using the Transformer MIDI effect...

Insert Exclusive
This will transform the found events according to the action list. Then, 
all events that were not found (that didn’t meet the filter conditions) 
are deleted (Logical Editor) or removed from the output stream 
(Transformer).
Copy (not available in the Transformer)
This will copy all found events, transform them according to the action 
list and paste them into a new part on a new MIDI track. The original 
events...

Specifying actions
The lower list in the Logical Editor 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 and Select).
The handling of the action list is similar to the filter condition list, but 
without the brackets and booleans. You simply add lines by clicking 
the Add Line button to the right, and fill out the columns as...
