Coloring Notes and Events according to channel

[Martin.Jirsak]

Hi,

@Leftism

this is useless

Sorry, this is internal Cubase structure, this is how Cubase works. It’s good to know it and understand it. Then you know, how to use Cubase in the best way.

@Leftism

OK…you win!

I didn’t. I would win if you would understand the concept behind it and you would be able to use Cubase better way.

@Leftism

and I have never seen a single human to use different midi channels inputs within one midi channel, so who is this “feature” for? this is a ridiculous nonsense!

Pretty much everyone who uses Polyphonic Voicing in the Score Editor.

Or anyone using multiple Instruments in VSTi’s like Halion, Kontakt, etc.

Film and video composers are pretty on-board with this too.

I bet there’s also some MIDI sophisticated Pop & EDM folks

Just because you don’t know what a screwdriver is for, doesn’t mean the screwdriver is useless.
And if you don’t know what a screwdriver is for, yelling about it being useless only makes you look…?

Perhaps this discussion will help clear things up for you. While this is focused on the role of MIDI Channels in the Score Editor it is also applicable in general, especially on the use of “Any” vs. a MIDI Channel Number in the Track settings and how those settings interact with the Channel Numbers assigned to the MIDI Events (like Note-on messages) themselves.

Also beware the way the forum inserted the solution quote it looks like the answer to the original poster’s question “Are these the same thing?” is me saying yes. But that is really a yes to a post near the end. To this initial question the answer is - no they are different (as Martin does in the initial response).

Midi channel on track vs inside of key editor

I am working with cubase scores and to use polyphonic voicing you use “midi channels” to route each note to the corresponding voice in the score. This is displayed in the key editor at the top of the page. However, I am confused by this. On each midi track there is also a place where I change output routing of midi into a VST instrument. Are these the same thing?
