About Instruments
In Cubase VST, you can define a combination of a certain MIDI Output and a cer-
tain MIDI Channel as an “Instrument”. Instruments can be defined for MIDI Tracks
and Drum Tracks. Defining a “palette” containing the Instruments you use, can be
very practical since you won’t have to think of the exact Output and Channel set-
tings. Instead, you can hide the Output and Channel columns in the Track list by
moving them to the right and dragging the Divider to the left.
Defining an Instrument
Let’s say that you have a Korg X-5. You set it to play a Piano sound on MIDI Chan-
nel 3. X-5 is connected to a standard SoundBlaster interface.
6. Select a Track. Set the MIDI Channel to 2 and the Output to “SB-
16MIDI...”.
7. Double click in the Instrument column for that Track or press
[Alt]+[Control]-[J] on the computer keyboard.
8. Enter a name and press [Return].
In our example, maybe "PnoX5" would be appropriate.
You have now defined an Instrument called "PnoX5". If you now set a Track (or
Part) to use that Instrument it will send its data to the Output “SB-16MIDI...” and it
will send on MIDI Channel 2. Likewise, if you change the Output and Channel set-
tings of another Track (or Part) to “SB-16MIDI...” and Channel 2, the Instrument
field of the Track/Part will show “PnoX5”.
