> [@ccianflone](#): > > Hi Lars, > > Thanks for the reply. In terms of not providing for full GM compatibility, I assume you are referring to some of the built in sounds? For my current needs, that is okay. I am just using Cubasis to drive hardware sound modules for now. As long as it can transmit all the MIDI messages, it should be good for now. On that topic, does it handle sending SysEx? > > I’ll take a look at the snapshot feature too. I’m very new to the product so still learning the possibilities. I did think of something like this when I saw you had Templates. My thought was to start with a Template (eventually hoping I could make my own, but I think I saw others mention snapshots might be a way to go too (since you can’t make your own templates?)), pre-add 16 MIDI tracks set to output to iRig and channelized 1 to 16. However, when I dragged the MIDI file onto that setup, it didn’t map tracks to the right place (most of my files have a different number of tracks so drums on 10 didn’t end up on 10), and it appeared to have a problem picking up initial patch changes. Everything was on piano. Given that experiment, would snapshots have a chance? > > Other suggestions? > > Thanks, > Chris Hi Chris, Snapshots are somewhat similar to our templates: - Create a new project - Add various tracks, adjust routings as desired, add instruments effects etc. - Once ready, go to Media/Projects (here the current active project is highlighted) - Tap the “camera” icon to create a snapshot of your project To learn more about Cubasis, please have a look at our wide range of tutorials: > **[\[UPDATED\] Steinberg Cubasis - Official tutorials & teasers](https://forums.steinberg.net/t/updated-steinberg-cubasis-official-tutorials-teasers/61131)** > > Dear all, Below please find the links to the official Cubasis tutorials and teasers available from Steinberg.
