Text parameter in Note events

[Paolo_T]

Hi,

Note events include a Text parameter/field. Is this part of the standard MIDI specs? I can’t find an equivalent in other DAWs, so I wonder if it is some special feature of the Cubase MIDI implementation.

Hi,

This is used for the Omnivocal plug-in text. See this thread.

I was going to ask, slightly off-topic, whether the MIDI2 specification has a way to deal with lyrics?

Indeed, I discovered it this way. But I’m curious about the specs behind it.

No, this Note parameter is not part of Standard MIDI File.

At least you have a text-field . In my case it’s missing.

As mentioned in your other thread already:

Right-click on the Info Line in the Key Editor and enable the Text option in the Set up Info Line. If you still can’t see it, resize the window horizontally, or change the elements’ order in the Set up Info Line.
