Hello everyone ! I currently use Cubase LE with a PC - Here is the problem: I've recorded a MIDI track with my Roland GR guitar synth. which is connected to my computer with an M-Audio USB cable with midi in and out plug ins to the synth. It works just fine except I can't get the midi included in the mixdown. What am I forgetting ?
Thanks
Luc

I believe you need a VSTi--virtual instrument. Go to the Devices menu and you'll see that listed as one of the options. If you have any installed, you can turn one on and activate it in your midi tracks, then export the audio mixdown. Obviously, the quality of the sound will depend on the quality of the VSTi.

Thank you for your response.
So if I correctly understand, I need to install the Roland GR-20 in the Cubase Devices. Then I can select it as midi output? Am I making any sense?
I wish someone would do a step by step of the process of including midi in an audio-mixdown. There is virtually nothing on this in the Cubase manual.

MIDI tracks are data, not sound. You need to trigger a device that outputs audio in order to hear or record what the MIDI directs. You can trigger a VSTi or an external sound module to accomplish this.
In your case, if you want to record the sounds from your keyboard, you need MIDI cables to and from the keyboard to your MIDI interface (or USB connection if applicable) and audio cables from the keyboard to inputs on your soundcard. In Cubase, you need a MIDI track with the input and output set to your MIDI interface and an audio track with the input you used as the input. MIDI Thru has to be checked in Prefs. Use the Monitor button on the audio track to toggle playback and live performance.

Hi all. Figured I might as well abuse this thread since I have the same problem... Almost...
I read in the LE manual to record the MIDI tracks as audio by playing it from the keyboard into an audio track (or somthing along those lines) before mixing down, but I don't use a keyboard or any kind of MIDI input except EZdrummer. How would I go about including that in a mixdown?
Thanks.
