How do I use the Cubase Drum map to send a midi note and it will mute or solo an audio channel?

Hi,

Windows 10.

I want to use the Cubase Drum map to send a midi note and it will mute or solo an audio channel.

Which is essentially using MIDI data on the timeline (not incoming MIDI into Generic Remote) to manipulate Cubase parameters.

So far the only method I can find is to use a 3rd party system-wide midi loop (like loopMID) to send out of Cubase into the loopMIDI and back into Cubase’s Generic Remote. This seems clunky and doesnt always work when exporting mixdown (at faster then realtime).

Is there another method?

No, that’s the only way.

Automation is the presumed method to do this.
