I think this is a bug, but it’s quite hard to explain. I’ll try and list it as simply as I can, step by step.
-
Record 3 short midi parts on bar 1, bar 13, bar 25. On bar 25, leave it to record for a couple of bars before playing a note.
-
In the track window, click on the 1st clip. It should appear in the key editor.
-
Click on the 2nd clip - this now appears in the key editor.
-
Move the playhead to the 2nd clip, and start playing.
-
While still playing, click on the first clip. For me, it doesn’t open in the key editor.
-
Stop the transport. Again, try to open the first clip in the key editor - I cannot.
-
Clicking on a different clip (clip 2 or 3) wakes it up, and now you can click on clip 1 normally.
That does look like a bug to me - if, while playing, I click on any clip outside the range of the current key editor, Cubase seems to get stuck and I cannot open the clip without opening a different clip first, even after subsequently playing stop. (told it was hard to describe)
This one is more of an annoyance.
-
Click on clip one, and zoom in to the first note or two.
-
Click on clip three. I cannot now see the note, since it starts a couple of bars after the start of the clip. I have to hunt around with the scroll bars to find it.
If anyone knows a workaround for either of these issues, I’d be very grateful - thanks.
