Hi folks, when I import a MIDI file into Cubase it sets up HALion to go with it. I’m sure that’s handy for some, but I’d prefer if it didn’t. I only want the MIDI file so I can use some other VSTi of my choosing.
I can’t seem to delete the instance of HALion that has been created.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks, Richie
Hi.
I’m really not sure why those tracks can’t be deleted. I tried and I am stuck with them too. I never used the import to Halion tracks though, it could be a bug with Cubase 12.
If you want to import MIDI files to a VST instrument track (which has a standard instrument set, but you can change it) or a MIDI track, you can change the default behaviour of the import at Edit->Preferences->MIDI->MIDI File. In the second box (import options) the second option from the bottom is a selection, you can chose »Instrument Tracks« or »MIDI Tracks« as default action, that should do it.
Cheers.
Thanks guys! Much appreciated.
Ah, in case you still want to delete those automatically created Halion tracks, you can do this with Studio->VST Intruments (F11) by clicking on the Halion SE caption and selecting no VST Instrument.
Cheers
