Cubasis 3 not importing or showing MIDI Markers

Hi everyone,
I just purchased the full license of cubasis 3 with all of the in app purchases and I hoped I can edit my MIDI files that I export from my arranger keyboard.
When I open the file on cubase on mac, I see all tracks and the Markers. Bit when I open the same file with cubasis 3, then I only see the tracks. No markers are shown. The MIDI file is attached here.
I would be glad for any workaround.

Hi there,
At the moment there is no marker track in Cubasis3 on iOS, hopefully Steinberg may implement this feature sometime in the near future :crossed_fingers:

What a pitty. If I knew it, I would not have purchased the app. Thanks anyway for your prompt reply.

All is not lost…….
There is method that I use and it works well, I have suggested it to others and they seem to be ok with it.
If you look at my photo on track one, I have added a midi track and labelled it MARKER, I then cut this track at the appropriate places, named and coloured them. The good thing about this method is if you have a lot of tracks, you can drag this track down to a new position to make it easier to “see where you are”.
Hope it helps

Thank you so much for your kind response but I do not only need to import the markers but also to export them back. Actually wha I am doing is importng a style file from Yamaha or Korg arranger keyboards and I want to modify them and export the modified version to the arranger back. It could be done with cubase but apparently not possible with cubasis.
Thank you anyway :slight_smile:

Mike,
That is a GREAT workaround! How were you able to assign the different names and colors to the individual parts?

Hi pmorra,
Like I said above,
** Set the left and right markers at start and end of project.
** Create a midi track and leave it blank (no instrument)
** Tap Track Label (1 in red circle) and write MARKER in the Rename box.
** Position the play head ruler to where the Verse ends and tap the Scissor tool, the example photo shows the ruler at bar 42 - the start of Verse 2.
** Double tap this first cut section and Rename.
** Tap the Color tab (2 in red circle) and select any colour.
** Position the play head ruler at the end of the Chorus and cut, rename and choose colour as above.
You can now do this for the rest of your project. You can also drag the unnamed section of midi track out of the way to the right and simply select your Verse or Chorus section, tap Copy, reposition the play head ruler to your selected position and tap Paste.
You can then double tap on any of the new marker sections and rename Verse 1, Chorus 2 etc.
The good thing about making this marker track is if you have lots of midi and audio tracks in your project and you find the marker track disappears out of sight, just long press on the grey area of the left column of the marker track until it moves, then drag it down or up the screen so that it is in view.
Hope this helps :slightly_smiling_face:
Mike.

I apologize. After months of trying to find a solution, your response gave me hope, that I didn’t see the instructions the first time. I just tried it out. Sure enough, it works just as you described. Thank you so much!

I’m glad it helped you :slightly_smiling_face:

Nice tip, Mike. Thanks!

Hi John,
I probably have more tips but can’t remember them lol
