hey, anybody out there using Cubase 5? I just switched from a (really old) Cubase SX, and am struggling to get something done. In SX, I could send noatikl output to say channel 1, and then filter that locally so that only channel 1 was passing noatikl information meant for channel 1 ... not every channel.
I can't seem to find the way to do that in 5 ... yet.
Anybody?

Re: MIDI filtering in Cubase 5
sure ... let's say that you've set up voice 1 in noatikl to output to track 1 in Cubase 5. so for that track, you're assigning noatikl to the MIDI input, and whatever synth as the MIDI output.
to the upper left in Cubase, you'll see an odd looking arrow icon. if you mouse over it, you'll that's the input transformer. you have several choices: make the transformer function locally (the selected track only), or globally (all tracks). setting this locally restricts noatikl output to that track only ... so that when you add other voices, their noatikl input will be similarly restricted to other tracks.
so, click on the input transformer icon, select local, and the transformer will pop up. to the upper left of the module you'll see a drop-down menu. these are presets. open the drop-down, and look for channel filtering. click on that, and in this case, select PASS CHANNEL 1.
that's it ...

Re: MIDI filtering in Cubase 5
Thanks for that tip.
One thing I would add (only because when I first tried it, it didn't work).
At the bottom of the input transformer box is a button that will either say "function transform" or "function filter". If it says "transform" then click on that word, a drop down menu will appear and you should choose "filter".
My template originally had it set to "transform".
Then it worked beautifully
