Hi there,
perhaps anyone can help me - when separating midi parts by pitch in Cubase 11, every new generated track will load a copy of the used initial VSTi. In previous Cubase versions, there was an option to avoid that, but I can’t find it anymore - any clues in V11?

There’s a drop down to change the default behavior upon the introduction of new MIDI MIDI tracks.
Also be aware that Instrument tracks are a little different from MIDI tracks. They include an end-point VSTi.

Thx for the fast reply!
Yes - that’s exactly how it worked before:
Unfortunately, it doesn’t work as expected - I generally never use rack VSTi - instead track instruments and for this tracks splitting worked in C10.5 (and before) by generating midi tracks (and no copies of the track VSTis).
I actually figured out a “workaround” by coping the midi part in an empty midi track and split it there - not the best solution, but it works.
Perhaps I am missing something
Anyway, thanks for the help!
Ah!
You could use a Project Logic editor and bind a key to the operation. Automate the process of moving or copying the parts on an instrument track to a MIDI track so it only takes a key combo, or a mouse selection in the macro menu.
I’m not sitting at Cubase right now so I can’t actually build this and share it and snap shots right now, but it’d be pretty basic.
First you’d click the instrument track.
Then play a macro that:
- adds a new MIDI track just below the selected track.
1b. Optionally, you can have it name the new track something useful.
- Sets the cursor at the beginning of the project.
- Selects all the events in the selected track.
- Copies (or cuts if preferred) the selected events.
- Selects the next track down.
- Paste at cursor.
There are probably other ways to do it as well using stuff in the MIDI menu.

Thanks for the help! The macro works perfect!
