Track Input Transformer help

Cubase
1

In Track Input Transformer I would like to generate a

CC0 Bank SelLSB - value 0

CC32 Bank SelMSB - value 5

and then a specific Program Change value every time the trigger action occurs.

But how to define the values for the LSB and MSB in the Parameter 2 columns?

Hello,

the issue with the Transformer is that it can only do one thing at a time. You try to convert one incoming midi message (NoteOn) into three outgoing midi messages (BankSelLSB, BankSelMSB, and PrgChng). The transformer is not able to do that.
You can change one note into BankSel MSB like this:

Unfortunately it seems that the Input Transformer creates an event for NoteOn and an additional event for NoteOff, possibly because my midi keyboard sends a NoteOn message with velocity = 0 instead of a true NoteOff. So it might just happen on my end but not for you.

Thanks for enligtening me, so this will not work that way.
Yes, I noticed too that a note press creates two events, it is a new behaviour. Even if I select a NoteOff as a trigger event, it will create two events which is not optimal. Is this maybe a bug?

Btw, what would be then a soluion to send proper LSB / MSB along with a Program Change, outside of creating them in a MIDI part and play?

Additionally to the Input Transformer settings as per my previous message, you can add to midi-plugins “Transformer” to the track like this:

Make sure the dotted line is underneath the last Transformer slot.

The setting for the first one:

Make sure the action is set to “Insert” as you want to create a new midi message.

The setting for the second one:

Obviously you have to adjust the values of LSB, MSB and PrgChg to your needs.
Watch out: The value of the PrgChg in the Transformer start to count at 0, while elsewhere Cubase starts to count with 1. So in my example the 3 will actually be a 4 in the end.

Here is the track preset. Unfortunately I have to zip it in order to be able to upload it. Do you know where to put such a file?

Sure, thank you very much for your kind help!
