[sdiy] Daft question

Hi Paul,

Why not running Cubase on the ST?
Think it works a lot smother then pro24.
(cubase midi only o'cause)

Your easiest option maybe to just play a very long note and record it with
pro24.
But if you have Cubase (VST), you might want to spent a half hour to learn
the most important functions of the midi part.

The key (piano-roll) editor can be a very handy tool, using it kind of
explains itself.
Its the place to do quantizing or correct the pitch and duration of that one
wrong note in your brilliant solo line ;)

Just assuming you don't know your way around...
In the arrange window:
First use the left / right markers to set the lenkt of your new midi part ,
then select create new (midi) part from the menu.
Next select the new part and choose the key editor from the edit menu.
And your already there :)

Hope this helps,
Theo

BTW, don't forget to check out the score editor and drum editor too, while
scratching the surface of cubase.
VST is nice, but IMHO the midi capabilities of Cubase runs much deeper then
the HD recording part.
