Defining a new MIDI device (Cubase Artist only)

If your MIDI device is not included in the list of pre-configured devices (and is not a “plain” GM or XG device), you need to define it manually to make it possible to select patches by name.

Procedure

  1. In the MIDI Device Manager, click the Install Device button.

    The Add MIDI Device dialog opens.

  2. Select “Define New…” and click OK.

    A dialog appears.

  3. Enter the name of the device and the MIDI channels you would like the device to use and click OK.

    The device appears in the Installed Devices list.

  4. Select the device in the list.

    As you can see, it contains only an Empty Bank item.

  5. Make sure that the Enable Edit checkbox is activated.

    Now you can use the functions on the Commands pop-up menu on the left to organize the patch structure of the new device.
