hi. i am trying to record midi off md to cubase. i was successful. i
recorded many knob tweaks. after i got done recording it, i played it
back, it played the tweaks fine, so i move onto my snare drum sound
(on its own track in cubase)(selected it on md) and when i go to play
the first track the tweaks are gone? i had wanted to go in and change
the patterns manually in cubase, ie. draw them in. i am not the most
familiar with continous controller info in cubase. i saw some info
when i opened the key editor and looked at the controller lanes which
i assume is my knob tweaks but they dont play back? what are your
prefered methods, the easiest way of recording machinedrum midi, i
dont like to use the onboard song mode, i want to go directly into
cubase and use it more as a sound module and use the patterns
somewhat. thanks and i hope i didnt confuse anyone.
