Virus C in Cubase SX

[Onkel Dunkel]

Do you have more than one MIDI port?
If yes, connect keyboard and Virus to seperate MIDI ports and route the signals in Cubase as described in my last post.
If no, go to next question.

Does your keyboard have USB?
If yes, connect to an USB port on your computer and route the signals in cubase as above (your keyboard will act as a MIDI interface).
If no, go to next question.

Does your keyboard have a MIDI in port?
If yes, make the following connections:
Computer MIDI out -> Keybord MIDI in
Keyboard MIDI out/thru -> Virus MIDI in
Virus MIDI thru -> Computer MIDI in
This is called daisy chaining and it only works if both keyboard has MIDI thru. This way the signal from the MIDI in is blended with the signal from the device and send to the MIDI thru port. On some equipment the MIDI thru port is the same as MIDI out and sometimes you have to turn this on in a menu.
If no, get a MIDI interface or change cables everytime you go from recording MIDI notes and having Cubase play your Virus (i did that for a short while and then got tired of it and bought a MIDI interface).
