Newly learning Cubase…
I have a midi file that I created on my Yamaha DGX 670. I’ve been working in Cubase for a couple weeks, learning the product. All of a sudden on one of the instruments (I have 10 tracks) the velocities are messed up. Makes the note sound like a different note.
So I thought I probably tweaked it somehow. But I reloaded the original file, andthat has the same issue. When I play that original file, the notes sound fine.
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
Hi,
What is the difference between reloading and playing the file, please?
Could you describe, when you can reproduce the issue and when you can’t, please?
By default, imported MIDI files are played back by Cubase with the HALion Sonic instrument. The conversion of the MIDI velocity data into sounds may differ from the playback on another instrument, this is a normal effect.
Here’s the thought process.
The file that I discovered the problem on that I was editing had in fact been edited. So the effort to determine if it’s because I did something to cause it versus it being there when the file loaded was what I was testing for so I loaded the unedited file to see if it happened and it did. But when I play that unedited file it plays fine without any velocity problems.
I expected that I’d hear something to that effect. But what’s interesting is the particular measure this was noticed in has the same note played nine times ( 9/8 signature ).
The first couple notes have normal velocity, then it drops down note by note, then goes back up and finishes at normal velocity.
Given what appears as a random problem I’m guessing there’s no automated way to apply a fix. No?
Interestingly I have been in eight of the other tracks and did not experience this on any of them. At least not as obvious. I suspect I need to check them.
