On Cubase 8.5, the program would automatically enable the MIDI channel you chose to edit. Is there any way to enable this behavior in Cubase 9?
Example: I would chose any clip to edit and automatically I would be able to play it with the midi controller. Now, I open the key editor and I still hear the channel that I was previously on.
To me it sounds like different Preferences Setup. You can set Cubase so that relevant Channel is selected, when you select a Part. Then, once the Channel is selected, the Record Enabled is enabled automatically (if you set it up like this in Preferences – this is actually the default preferences settings), so you can hear what you play on your MIDI keyboard.
This is very unusual. I’ve always enjoyed the fact that Cubase automatically let’s you play the instrument you’re editing in the Key Editor, and once you close that window you’re back to the other instrument.
I was able to have the track selection follow whatever I click on, but it’s not the behavior from 8.5.
Hopefully it’s just a bug. Going to uninstall it and reinstall to see if it fixes it.
Also take a look at this setting: Preferences > VST > Auto Monitoring and choose the one that fits your way of working best. ‘Tapemachine Style’ works best for me overall. When you select a track it automatically enables monitoring during stop and record, but not during playback.
