In my Cubase 7.5 project, I have a MIDI track that I imported from another program. It is the melody of a song I’m working on.
When I assign the track to Halion Sonic SE2, it plays back in a piano sound. I need to change this, to some other sound, so I chose a different one in the inspector.
But it went back to playing piano.
So I opened up the MIDI event in the list editor, and the first two lines were:
So I deleted those 2 rows, because I though that that was where the event was having it’s instrument assignment set. Then I changed to the new sound (in the inspector).
But it went back to playing piano.
What am I missing here? Where is the setting that makes the MIDI event/track default back to the piano sound?
No only one set.
But it seems to me like it is HSSE that is changing itself back to piano, because there is nothing in the MIDI event that is doing it.
Is the playback device set to receive program changes ?
Try starting new instance of the playback device no track preset etc and see if the problem still persist.
Any progress to resolve this issue? I have the same situation with imported midi files . Is there a button or something to completely erase all midi program change , so the midi file can be clean and without any instructions what instrument to play ?
Open all tracks in list editor. On the inspector on the top of the screen you can hide everything but program changes. Then you can see/delete the offending ones.
I used to import tracks from band in a box and I would highlight them all then open list view and click on a PC event and filter for that then select all and delete them all as a matter of course right after importing them.
