Sep 25, 2005 06:37 pm I dont think SX is clever enough to do that, from what ive found. i use MIDI all day at work, and itd be hella cool if i could suss it out. Noize might know, he's lurking about right now...
Cubase SX users....

How do you add effects to the midi channels? And Im not talking about the builtin "midi" effects that come with CubaseSX but isnt there a way to add VST plugins on the midi tracks? I'm sitting there going to the effects channel for the particular midi track that I just recorded and played using a VST instrument (synth) and it sucks cos I cant add EQ etc to that channel.....
any help would be appreciated!
side note: i used to record the midi tracks in cubase and than save them as a .wave file and THAN import them back into my song but thats an extra step - trying to avoid doing that!

Sep 25, 2005 06:56 pm Flame - greetsss how you been my man?? Havent spoke to you in a while....dunno where coolo went...
Noize drop some knowledge master!
Ive been toying with SX with this midi stuff and I'm so surprised why you cannot add VST effects to the midi channels - That sucks they are making us go an extra step by recording recording the midi track separately > exporting to .wave > and than importing the dang .wave file back into your actual song...
arrghhh....
Is there a better sequencer than SX that handles Midi effects?
Sep 25, 2005 06:59 pm im good deeps, im working in audio full time now, which increases my toelence for work, but decreases my time here, sadly. im reading the threads all the time (i gotta stay good at my job, right?), but not posting every 2 seconds like i used to.
im sure the OLD cubase range used to let you do that, i think my old copy of Cubasis from about 5 years ago can handle it no probs - maybe its just hidden away somewhere? Ill check my manual at work in the morrow.
Sep 25, 2005 07:27 pm u could add insert or send effects to a channel of the vsti that the midi is playing....i forgot if i used to do it in cubase sx 1....when i used sx 1 it was just for learning wasn't really dealing with much midi then..... but i u can do it in sx 3
Sep 25, 2005 08:31 pm Flame - Nice what are you doing full time with the audio? Studio stuff? Recording? Nice I wish I can do that!
General: hmmm thanks for the reply, Im gonna see if that works I'l lplay with it in a minute...I'll check back and see how it works and post an update...woop woop
Sep 25, 2005 09:22 pm deeps, GF has it smack down. The FX need to be added to the audio channel that is playing the VSTi.
In Sonar I can simply freeze the track as well, or add it to a certain audio buss and then add FX there. It sure beats the daylights out of having to export all the time.
Oct 04, 2005 07:26 am As far as I was aware the VST plugs can only be applied to audio??
As the MIDI track is not audio until recorded down to a seperate track, I assume it wont work??
Though, I will be happy to be wrong if someone can tell me how to do it as I also find it a royal pain in the butt...just cant see how you'd do it...
Cheers

Oct 06, 2005 04:24 am CoCo - I think noize was mentioning that what General said was the right way to do it - I am gonna try it this weekend and see what happens and will report back to ya if you get around to doing it b4 my lazy butt, lemme know....
Oct 06, 2005 12:24 pm yeah the VST instrument IS an audio device...the midi track is not, in sonar, you get a midi track AND the audio output track of the VSTi when you add a VSTi.....i KNOW theres gotta be a way to do it in cubase, it's very common.....otherwise render the track to audio then proceed to mix with effects.
good luck

Oct 06, 2005 12:43 pm in simpler terms a VSTi is Midi-IN, Audio-OUT
Oct 06, 2005 12:54 pm deeps : sorry, i missed the question before. i started making midi files of popular or current songs to sell as ringtones, but more reently im making soundtracks to accompany (otherwise) silent videos. its pretty cool
Oct 06, 2005 08:22 pm You can add vst's to MIDI tracks in logic., haven't found a way in cubase though....
Oct 06, 2005 11:55 pm Man did u all even read the manual???????????
Oct 09, 2005 07:44 pm u can't plead the 5th to me, i am not american and not in america....ANSWER ME!!!
ps: LOL
Oct 10, 2005 09:31 am in cubase LE . . . the VSTi audio output only appears in the mixer section . . . dont know about SX though . . . hope this helps
Oct 10, 2005 02:31 pm yes it does appear in the mixer section of cubase SX too.....i forgot how it was in cubase sx 1.....now i use(d) cubase sx 2 and sx 3 and i do plenty vsti stuff now and i always add sends and inserts to my vsti tracks on the mixer
