When using MIDI tracks, Cubase allows you to “pair” the track with a return channel associated with the instrument to which the MIDI track is routed. This is commonly used with multi-timbral VSTs, so that the inspector will show the appropriate channel strip when the MIDI track is selected.
For more complex projects/templates, it is sometimes desirable to pair a MIDI track with a different group track, but we’re currently limited to only the channels associated with the MIDI tracks’ destination.
For example, I have MIDI track that is routed to a multi-timbral plugin. The plugin returns multiple different mic positions on different outputs. I then route these different mic positions to a group channel. Currently, my only option is to pair the MIDI track with just one of the mic positions (output channels from the MIDI tracks’ destination). I would instead like to pair the MIDI trackwith the group track that all of the instrument’s mic-positions are routed to. So, when I select the MIDI track, the inspector would show the fader, inserts, sends, etc. for the mic summed group track.
