First off, that .cpr was created by Cubase 5.1.0, not SX3.
It was created Sunday 24 January 2010, 16:36:32.
An M-audio Axiom 61 keyboard was used for input.
There’s one track, routed to “SimSynth VSTi”.
On that track there’s just one chord over 4 bars, a Cmin9/11.
I’m guessing that the arpeggio was created entirely by that synth, and as we don’t yet know what version of that synth was used, it isn’t yet possible to reconstruct the audio. The likelihood is that it was a 32-bit VSTi, in which case it won’t work in the current version of Cubase.
Since the project file is called Bells-01.cpr - maybe that’s hinting at the name of the patch?
If we follow that trail into the legible parts of the .CPR file opened with our favorite text editor, and we see 13 Instances of “Bell” in the following order:
Other patches with “bells” in the name (the .cpr file contains numerous other names without “bell” - and note: they are in alphabetical sequence in the .cpr file)
– Bells
– BellsHigh
– SpaceBells
– Strange bells
Cubase Project Name and location (without the version number)
– Bells
– Bells.cpr
– C:\Users\Administrateur\Desktop\Bells\
and a repeat of the active patch name
– BellsHigh
and a repeat of the available patch names (the other patch names are repeated there, too - but I’m only listing the one’s with “bell” in the name)
– Bells
– BellsHigh
– Space Bells
– Strange bells
Wow I feel so, so grateful to have been answer in such a timely & precise manner!
Thank you so so much for the precious time that you guys, MrSoundman & Nico5 took on deciphering my little yet old project file. I couldn’t have asked for better!
Okay so it seems like indeed I used SimSynth Live (I used to love its simplicity), along with as I guessed, the Arpache Arpegiator MidiFx.
Now it’s weird because I really thought I used another synth, but I can’t deny the obvious truth of your results.
As for the patch, indeed it was a Bell-sounding one. So great (educated) guess Nico5!
I’ll look into your comments and compare the different presets on another DAW, reproducing the whole sequence.
Again, so so grateful and happy! You guys are amazing!!!
