I’ve been testing out the new Drum Track in Cubase 14, but as far as I can tell, there’s no way to break out the samples into separate VSTi outputs.
The Routing dropdown only shows bus outputs; no individual VSTi outputs, like with HALion, et al. So basically, there’s no way to process the kick or snare separately in the Mixer.
Am I missing something? Cheers!
Right click a pad → Assign Output.
Yes, but it doesn’t create an actual output in the mixer. The pad just goes mute. There’s no way to create discrete outputs, like HALion, et al.
select group on the drum track and assign the outputs and this will automatically create new tracks on the mix console
thank you. Wow, this is quite a difference from the usual instrument output function.
Is it also possible to assign delay and reverb to their own output?
Short answer: yes.
Next question: how? I don’t see it in the the Group list as posted in the screenshot above.
You go to the Cubase MixConsole, find the desired channel and load the desired plugins into the insert slots.
I guess I wasn’t clear. The Drum Machine Track has its own built-in delay and reverb sends. I would like to route those to their own channels in the mixer.
I’m afraid they are applied before the signal leaves the Drum Machine. Thus they only appear within DrumMachine and cannot be accessed on Cubase channels.
This would be a feature request. You could create a new topic for this, tagging it as “feature-request”.
Workaround: since these are just Cubase stock delays and reverbs, you could simply not use the internal fx, and recreate the effects with sends or inserts on your desired outputs.
That’s what I usually do, but in this case, I wanted to automate the send amount via the step sequencer.
I don’t think there’s a way to control anything that’s not part of the Drum Machine/VSTi.
But if I route all drum pads to a separate output, I’m only left with the Reverb/Delay on the main channel which kind of works as well.
