It’s a container that includes everything an instrument track can, plus midi. edit: I was typing while you posted the youtube link…)Ī Midi loop isn’t actually a loop. (midiloops automatically load the instrument they were created with. The file is shown, you can preview it in the previewer, it’s routed through the midi output you select in the dropdown menu.
(User Content only shows the %AppData% and other system dir stuff afaik) Just set the filter to midi files, and leave the drop-down menu on All Media.
Export a midi file to the aforementioned folder, and it appears in Mediabay. Turn on “Show Managed Locations Only” to hide all the un-checked folders. Go into mediabay and navigate to it in the left Define Locations pane and check-mark it. create a folder in the Cubase Projects folder called “midi riffs”. Here’s what I just played with, it feels like a decent workflow, once you set it up. I am speaking with a slight tone of sacrasm ) I am optimistic that we will see it again in 2018. (There was a period during C8 where you could drag and drop midi parts from instrument tracks onto mediabay. It’s a cool idea, but without drag and drop to mediabay it’s not so useful. How much of this is doable? I know I can export a MIDI -track- but I just want to export individual EVENTS.Īnd… if MediaBay isn’t the right tool… is there a way to simply export MIDI events to a particular -folder-?Ī Midi loop isn’t actually a loop. IDEALLY, I’d like to be able to have a Macro that opens MediaBay with ONLY -my- content displayed.)
(Because every time I open up MediaBay I see THOUSANDS of pieces of junk that have nothing to do with what I want. …and then whenever I want to use it, I want to be able to EASILY just ‘filter out’ only -my- MIDI files.
Assign it some ‘attributes’ and identifiers in MediaBay like “JC’s Buzz Roll” or “JC’s Purdie Fill”… etc. Click some button like ‘Save MIDI to MediaBay’. Right click on a MIDI event in a Cubase CPR. What I want is a FAST way to take a MIDI event I create in a song, save it ‘somewhere’ (I assume MediaBay) so I can re-use it as needed in -any- CPR. I have (literally) NEVER used MediaBay-except to try it out–or a ‘loop’ for that matter, so please be gentle. Typical New Years Resolution: I want to be more efficient with Cubase (even after 16 years).
