Introduction

This manual lists all main menu items in Cubase and Cu-

base Studio for quick reference. For any further informa-

tion, please refer to the Operation Manual.

Cubase menu (Mac OS X only)

About Cubase

Opens a window with information about the Cubase ver-

sion number etc.

Preferences…

The Preferences dialog contains various settings and op-

tions. The dialog has several pages that you access by se-

lecting items in the Finder-like list on the left. To make

settings without closing the dialog use the Apply button.

Use the Help button in the dialog for information about the

items on the selected page.

Quit

Quits the program. If there are any unsaved changes in an

open project, you will have the option of keeping these or

discarding them before the program quits.

File menu

New Project

This item allows you to create a new untitled project. A list

appears, allowing you to select an empty project or a

project template. The factory templates are preconfigured

setups to suit various types of projects. A project can be

saved as a template, and will then appear on this list.

After making a selection, a project file dialog appears, al-

lowing you to specify a folder where all files relating to the

new project will be stored. Select an existing folder or

click the Create button to create a new folder.

New Library… (Cubase only)

Allows you to create a library – a stand-alone pool file that

isn’t associated with a project. You will be asked to spec-

ify a project folder (where all files in the library will be

stored). Libraries are excellent for storing files that you

want access to in many different projects (sound effect

collections, etc.).

Open…

This item opens a file dialog allowing you to locate and

open saved project files. Cubase Project files have the ex-

tension “.cpr”. Several projects can be open at the same

time, but only one can be active. The active project is indi-

cated by a blue button at the top left corner of the Project

window.

Open Library… (Cubase only)

Allows you to open a library file (extension “.npl”). Libraries

are stand-alone pool files that are not associated with

projects. When you open a library, it will appear as a sep-

arate, additional pool window. To add files from the library

to your project, use drag and drop.

Closes the active window. If the Project window is active,

the corresponding project will be closed.

Save

Saves any changes made to the project since you last

saved. The Save command stores the project under its

current name and location.

Menu Reference

Save As…

Save As allows you to specify a new name and a new

project folder for the project.

Back up Project…

This item allows you to save the project into a new empty

folder. It has some additional features that can be used for

backup purposes.

When a new empty folder has been selected, a dialog ap-

pears where you can change the name of the project and

set the following options:

•By default, the original project will still be the active

project after clicking OK. That way you will be able to in-

stantly create a backup copy of your project without hav-

ing to return to the original project afterwards. You can,

however, also choose to make the new copy the active

project.

•You can choose to minimize audio files.

This will crop files based on the audio clips referenced in the project. As

the clips used in the project may be references to much larger audio files,

this can reduce the project size significantly.

•You can apply Freeze Edits.

This will make all processing and applied effects permanent for clips.

•You can choose not to include video files in the backup

version of the project.

•You can choose to remove all unused files.

When you back up a project, all files relating to the project

based on the options set will be saved in the new project

folder. The contents of the original project folder will be left

untouched. If you are absolutely certain that you do not

have any further need for the unused files and/or the video

files from the original project, you can exclude them from

the backup version.

Save as Template…

You can save any project as a template. When you create

a new project, the available templates are listed, allowing

you to base the new project on the selected template.

Saved templates will contain everything that was in the

original project, including clips and events.

Save Library… (Cubase only)

Saves the currently open and active library. Library files

have the extension “.npl”.

Revert

This menu item allows you revert to the last saved version

of a project. If any new audio files have been recorded

since you last saved, you have the option of keeping or

deleting these.

Page Setup…

This item opens the standard Page Setup dialog, used for

deciding about paper formats etc., before printing a score.

The item is only available when the Score Editor is open.

Print…

Opens the standard Print dialog, allowing you to select

which pages to print, how many copies of each etc. This

item is only available when the Score Editor is open.

Import

Option Description

Audio File… This command lets you import audio files directly into a

project. The imported file will be placed at the current

cursor position of the selected audio track.

Audio CD… Opens the Import from Audio CD dialog where you can

import audio from CDs. For details use the Help function

in the dialog.

Video File… Opens a file dialog allowing you to import a video file

onto the video track. You do not have to create a video

track before importing, it is automatically created. The im-

ported video will be placed at the current cursor position.

Audio from

Video File… Allows you to extract the audio from a video file on disk.

The audio in the selected video file is extracted and con-

verted to a Wave file in the project’s Audio folder.

MIDI File… You can import Standard MIDI Files of Type “0” (all data

on single track) or Type “1” (data on several tracks).

When you import, you can choose to import the file into

the current project, or to create a new project.

Track Archive…

(Cubase only) The Import Track Archive function lets you import tracks

exported from another Cubase (or Nuendo) project.

Tempo Track Tempo track information (including time signature events)

can be exported as a special xml file (file extension

“.smt”). This menu item allows you to import a Tempo

Track file exported from another Project. This will replace

all tempo track data in the current project (although the

operation can be undone if needed).

Menu Reference

Export

Replace Audio in Video File

This lets you insert audio into a video file. If the video file

already contains an audio track, this will be replaced by

the audio you insert into it.

Cleanup…

The Cleanup function helps you to save hard disk space by

locating unused files which you can delete in the project

folders on your disk.

Preferences…

ÖUnder Mac OS X, the Preferences dialog is accessed

from the Cubase menu.

The Preferences dialog contains various settings and op-

tions. The dialog has several pages that you access by se-

lecting items in the Explorer-like list on the left. To make

settings without closing the dialog, use the Apply button.

Use the Help button in the dialog for information about the

items on the selected page.

Key Commands…

The Key Commands dialog allows you to specify key com-

mands for virtually any Cubase function, as well as cus-

tomize existing key commands to your liking. Use the Help

button in the dialog for information about the items in the

dialog.

Recent Projects

This submenu provides shortcuts to the most recent

projects you have been working with. The list is chrono-

logical with the most recent project at the top of the list.

Quit

ÖUnder Mac OS X, this item is accessed from the Cu-

base menu.

This quits the program. If there are any unsaved changes

in an open project, you will have the option of keeping

these or discarding them before the program quits.

MusicXML… Allows you to import MusicXML files created with version

1.1. This makes it possible to represent sheet music in

Cubase. Note that there are some restrictions concern-

ing the parameters supported by Cubase.

OMF…

(Cubase only) Allows you to open an OMF file (Open Media Framework

Interchange) and convert it to a Cubase project.

Option Description

MIDI File… Allows you to export MIDI tracks as standard MIDI files.

MIDI Loop… Allows you to export MIDI loops (file extension “midiloop”)

in Cubase. MIDI loops contain MIDI part information plus

all settings that are saved in Instrument track presets.

Audio

Mixdown… Allows you to mix down and export an output bus. In Cu-

base you can also export an audio track channel or any

kind of audio channel in the mixer (including VST instru-

ment channels, FX channels, Group channels and Re-

Wire channels). The resulting mix is saved as a file on

your hard disk, complete with effects, automation EQ

etc., in one of several file formats.

Selected

Tracks…

(Cubase only)

This lets you export selected tracks from the current

project, complete with contents, mixer settings, automa-

tion, effects etc. The exported tracks can then be im-

ported into other Cubase projects by selecting “Track

Archive…” from the Import submenu.

Tempo Track Tempo track information (including time signature events)

can be exported as a special xml file (file extension

“.smt”), which can later be imported into another project.

Scores Here you can export a score (in Page mode) as a picture,

e.g. a Bitmap file.

MusicXML… This allows you to export MusicXML files. Note that there

are some restrictions concerning the parameters sup-

ported by Cubase.

OMF…

(Cubase only) Saves the active project as an OMF (Open Media Frame-

work Interchange) file.

Option Description

Menu Reference

Edit menu

Undo/Redo

Cubase offers wide-ranging, multiple Undo, allowing you

to undo virtually any action you perform.

•To undo the last performed action, select Undo from the

Edit menu, or use the corresponding key command (by

default [Ctrl]/[Command]+[Z]).

If you select Undo again, the previously performed action will be undone,

and so on.

•To redo the last undone action, select Redo from the

Edit menu, or use the corresponding key command (by

default [Ctrl]/[Command]+[Shift]+[Z]).

Undone actions will be available for Redo until you perform another action

(at which point the “Redo Stack” is cleared – see “History…” below).

History…

The Edit History window contains a representation of the

“Undo Stack” (the performed actions, with the most re-

cent action at the top of the stack) and the “Redo Stack”

(the undone actions, with the most recently undone action

at the bottom of the stack). The two stacks are separated

by a divider line.

The Edit History dialog allows you to undo or redo several

actions in one go, by moving the divider between the Undo

Stack and the Redo Stack (in essence, moving actions from

the Undo Stack to the Redo Stack, or vice versa).

Cut/Copy/Paste

You can cut or copy selected events (or selection ranges)

and paste them in again at the current cursor position on

the original track(s).

Paste at Origin

This will paste an event at its original position, i.e. where it

was originally cut or copied from.

Delete

This will delete all selected events.

Split at Cursor

This splits selected events at the cursor position. If no

events are selected, all events on all tracks intersected by

the cursor will be split.

Split Loop

This splits all events at the left and right locator positions.

Range

The items on the Range submenu have the following

functions:

You can specify how many levels of Undo should be

available with the “Maximum Undo” setting on the

General page in the Preferences on the File menu.

Option Description

Global Copy This copies everything in the selection range.

Cut Time Cuts out the selection range and moves it to the clip-

board. Events to the right of the removed range are

moved to the left to fill out the gap.

Delete Time The selection range is removed and events to the right

are moved to the left to fill out the gap.

Paste Time Pastes the clipboard data at the start position and track

of the current selection. Existing events are moved to

make room for the pasted data.

Paste Time

at Origin Pastes the clipboard data back at its original position. Ex-

isting events are moved to make room for the pasted

data.

Split Splits any events or parts that are intersected by the se-

lection range, at the positions of the selection range

edges.

Crop All events or parts that are partially within the selection

range are cropped, that is sections outside the selection

range are removed, leaving only events that are fully in-

side or outside the selection range.

Insert Silence Inserts empty track space at the start of the selection

range. The length of the inserted silence equals the

length of the selection range. Events to the right of the

selection range start are moved to the right to “make

room”. Events that are intersected by the selection range

start are split, and the right section is moved to the right.

Menu Reference

Select

The items on this submenu have different functions, de-

pending on whether the regular event selection tool

(Arrow tool) or the Range Selection tool is selected:

Event selection

Range selection

Duplicate/Repeat…

•Duplicate creates a copy of the selected event and

places it directly after the original.

If several events are selected, all of these are copied “as one unit”, main-

taining the relative distance between the events.

•Selecting “Repeat…” from the Edit menu opens a dia-

log, allowing you to create a number of copies (regular or

shared) of the selected event(s).

This works just like the Duplicate function, except that you can specify

the number of copies.

Fill Loop

This creates a number of copies starting at the left locator

and ending at the right locator. The last copy is automati-

cally shortened to end at the right locator position.

Move to

The following functions are available from this submenu:

Convert to Real Copy

This creates a new version of a clip (that can be edited in-

dependently) and adds this to the Pool.

Option Description

All Selects all events in the window.

None Deselects all events.

Invert Inverts the selection status, so that all selected events

are deselected and all events that were not selected are

selected instead.

In Loop Selects all events that are partly or wholly between the

left and right locator.

From Start

to Cursor Selects all events that begin to the left of the project cur-

sor.

From Cursor

to End Selects all events that end to the right of the project cur-

sor.

Equal Pitch –

all Octaves Selects all MIDI notes (in MIDI editors only) that have the

same pitch as the selected note (regardless of octave).

Equal Pitch –

same Octave Selects all MIDI notes (in MIDI editors only) that have the

same pitch as the selected note (within the same octave).

Select Control-

lers in Note

Range

Selects the MIDI controller data within range of the se-

lected notes.

All on Selected

Tracks Selects all events on the selected track.

Option Description

All In the Project window, this makes a selection that covers

all tracks, from the start of the project to the end. In the

Sample Editor, this selects the whole clip.

None Removes the current selection range.

In Loop Makes a selection between the left and right locator. In

the Project window, the selection will span all tracks.

From Start

to Cursor Makes a selection from the start of the project to the

project cursor. In the Project window, the selection will

span all tracks.

From Cursor

to End Makes a selection from the project cursor to the end of

the project. In the Project window, the selection will span

all tracks.

Select Event This item (only available in the Sample Editor) selects the

audio that is included in the edited event only.

All on selected

tracks Selects all events on the selected track.

Left Selection

Side to Cursor Moves the left side of the current selection range to the

project cursor position.

Right Selection

Side to Cursor Moves the right side of the current selection range to the

project cursor position.

Option Description

Cursor Moves the selected event to the project cursor position. If

there are several selected events on the same track, the

first event will start at the cursor, and the following will be

lined up end-to-start after the first one.

Origin Moves the selected events to their original positions, i.e.

the positions at which they were originally recorded.

Front/

Back This function doesn’t actually change the position of the

events, but moves the selected events to the front or

back, respectively. This is useful if you have overlapping

events and want to see one that is partially obscured.

For audio events, this is an extra important feature, since

only the visible sections of events will be played back.

Moving an obscured audio event to front (or moving the

obscuring event to back) will allow you to hear the whole

event on playback.

Note that it is also possible to use the “Front” function on

the event context menu for this (although this works in a

different way).

Option Description

Menu Reference

Group/Ungroup

You can group several events so that they are treated as a

single unit, meaning that if you edit one of the grouped

events, all other events in the group are affected as well.

Similarly, you can ungroup the events by selecting “Un-

group”.

Lock…/Unlock

If you want to make sure you don’t edit or move an event by

accident, you can lock the selected event(s). Locking can

affect one (or any combination) of the following properties:

To specify which of these properties should be affected

by the Lock function, use the “Lock Event Attributes” pop-

up menu in the Preferences (Editing page).

Selecting locked events and choosing “Unlock” will un-

lock the events.

Mute/Unmute

You can mute (silence) events by selecting them and se-

lecting “Mute”.

Similarly, you can unmute the selected events by selecting

“Unmute”.

Project Logical Editor

This opens the Project Logical Editor, where you can per-

form advanced “search and replace” operations on project

level.

Process Project Logical Editor

This submenu contains various presets for use with the

Project Logical Editor.

Automation follows Events

This option can also be activated in the Preferences (Edit-

ing page). It is, however, also available on the Edit menu

for quick activation and deactivation. When activated, au-

tomation events will automatically follow when you move

an event or part on a track that contains automation for

them. I.e. the automation events that affect an event will be

moved along with it rather than remain in a specific posi-

tion in the project.

Auto Select Events under Cursor

This option can also be activated in the Preferences (Edit-

ing page). It is, however, also available on the Edit menu

for quick activation and deactivation. When activated, all

events on the selected track(s) that are “touched” by the

project cursor are automatically selected.

Enlarge Selected Track

This option can also be activated in the Preferences (Edit-

ing – Project & Mixer page). When activated, the selected

tracks in the Project Window are automatically enlarged in

height.

Zoom

The following options are available on the Zoom submenu

on the Edit menu:

Option Description

Position If this is locked, the event cannot be moved.

Size If this is locked, the event cannot be resized.

Other If this is locked, all other editing of the event is disabled.

This includes adjusting the fades and event volume, pro-

cessing, etc.

Option Description

Zoom In Zooms in one step, centering on the position cursor.

Zoom Out Zooms out one step, centering on the position cursor.

Zoom Full Zooms out so that the whole project is visible. “The whole

project” means the timeline from the project start to the

Length set in the Project Setup dialog.

Zoom to

Selection Zooms in both horizontally and vertically so that the cur-

rent selection fills the screen.

Zoom to

Selection

(Horiz.)

Zooms in horizontally so that the current selection fills the

screen.

Zoom to

Event This option is available only in the Sample Editor.

Zoom In

Vertically Zooms in one step vertically.

Zoom Out

Vertically Zooms out one step vertically.

Zoom In

Tracks Zooms in selected track(s) one step vertically.

Menu Reference

Macros

If you have created Macros, these will be available on the

Macros submenu. A Macro is a combination of several

functions or commands, to be performed in one go. Mac-

ros are set up in the Key Commands dialog.

Project menu

Add Track

Select a track type from the Add Track submenu to add a

new track. The “Browse Sounds…” option opens a dialog

in which you can search for track presets or VST presets.

Duplicate Tracks

This will create a duplicate (copy) of the selected track.

Remove Selected Tracks

This will remove all selected tracks and any parts or events

on them from the Project window.

Remove Empty Tracks

This will remove all tracks not containing any events.

Track Folding (Cubase only)

Here you can quickly show, hide or invert what is dis-

played in the Project window event display. This enables

you to fold in automation subtracks, for example.

Pool

This opens the audio Pool, which contains all clips (audio

and video) that belong to a project.

Markers

This opens the Marker window. Markers store positions to

facilitate quick navigation to important locations in a project.

Tempo Track

This menu item opens the Tempo Track Editor. For tempo

based tracks, the tempo can follow the tempo track (acti-

vated with the Tempo button on the Transport panel), which

may contain tempo changes.

Browser

This opens the Project Browser window which provides a

list-based representation of the project. This allows you to

view and edit all events on all tracks by using regular value

editing in a list.

Zoom Out

Tracks Zooms out selected track(s) one step vertically.

Zoom Selected

Tracks This zooms in vertically on the selected track(s) and min-

imizes the height of all other tracks.

Undo/Redo

Zoom Undo lets you undo the last performed zoom action, and

redo lets you redo the last undone zoom action. How

many levels of undo is available for zoom actions is the

same as for “regular” undo, as set on the General page in

the Preferences.

Option Description

Toggle Selected

Track Reverses the fold state of the selected track, i.e. if the

track was folded in (its elements (subtracks) were hid-

den), it is now unfolded (all subtracks displayed) and vice

versa.

Fold Tracks Folds all open folder tracks in the Project window. The

exact behavior of this function depends on the “Deep

Track Folding” setting in the Preferences.

Unfold Tracks Unfolds in all open folder tracks in the Project window.

The exact behavior of this function depends on the “Deep

Track Folding” setting in the Preferences.

Flip Fold States Flips the fold states of the tracks in the Project window.

This means that all tracks that were folded in will be un-

folded and all unfolded tracks will be folded in, respec-

tively.

Show All Used

Automation This will open all used automation subtracks for all tracks.

Hide All

Automation This closes all open automation subtracks.

Menu Reference

Automation Panel

This opens the Automation Panel, a floating window that

gives you access to all automation options in Cubase.

Beat Calculator…

This opens the Beat Calculator window. The Beat Calcu-

lator is a tool for calculating the tempo of recorded audio

or MIDI material.

Set Timecode at Cursor

This allows you to set the project start position at the cur-

sor position. When synchronizing Cubase with external

devices, such as video tapes for instance, the start posi-

tion denotes which timecode frame on the external device

should correspond to the beginning of the project.

This can also be set in the Project Setup dialog. However,

if you know that a certain position in your project would

coincide with a certain timecode position in the external

device, using this menu item might be preferable. Move

the project cursor to the desired position, select “Set

Timecode at Cursor” and specify the corresponding time-

code position in the dialog that appears – the Start value

is adjusted accordingly.

Notepad

This opens a standard text notepad.

Project Setup…

This dialog contains general settings for a project. See the

dialog help for specifics.

Auto Fades Settings…

This opens the Auto Fades dialog, where you can specify

various fade options. Use the Help button in the dialog for

details.

Audio menu

Process

Basically, you apply audio processing by making a selec-

tion and selecting a function from the Process submenu.

For details about the functions and parameters in the vari-

ous processing dialogs, use the Help button in the corre-

sponding dialog.

Option Description

Envelope The Envelope function allows you to apply a volume en-

velope to the selected audio.

Fade In/Out Allows you to set fade-ins and fade-outs.

Gain Allows you to change the gain (level) of the selected au-

dio.

Merge

Clipboard This function mixes the audio from the clipboard into the

audio selected for processing, starting at the beginning

of the selection.

For this function to be available, you need to have cut or

copied a range of audio in the Sample Editor first.

Noise Gate Scans the audio for sections weaker than a specified

threshold level, and silences them.

Normalize The Normalize function allows you to specify the desired

maximum level of the audio. It then analyzes the selected

audio and finds the current maximum level. Finally it sub-

tracts the current maximum level from the specified level,

and raises the gain of the audio by the resulting amount

(if the specified maximum level is lower than the current

maximum, the gain will be lowered instead). A common

use for normalizing is to raise the level of audio that was

recorded at too low an input level.

Phase

Reverse Reverses the phase of the selected audio, turning the

waveform “upside down”.

Pitch Shift This function allows you to change the pitch of the audio

with or without affecting its length. You can also create

“harmonies” by specifying several pitches, or apply pitch

shift based on a user specified envelope curve.

Remove

DC Offset This function will remove any DC offset in the audio selec-

tion. A DC offset is when there is too large a DC (direct

current) component in the signal, sometimes visible as the

signal not being visually centered around the “zero level

axis”. DC offsets do not affect what you actually hear, but

they affect zero crossing detection and certain processing,

and it is recommended that you remove them.

It is recommended that this function is applied to complete

audio clips, since the DC offset (if any) is normally present

throughout the entire recording.

Resample This function changes the length, tempo and pitch of the

audio by resampling it to a higher or lower sample rate.

Reverse Reverses the audio selection, as when playing a tape

backwards.

Silence Replaces the selection with silence.

Menu Reference

Plug-ins (Cubase only)

All installed effect plug-ins are available separately on the

Audio menu. This allows you to apply effects processing

to one or several selected events.

Spectrum Analyzer (Cubase only)

This function analyzes the selected audio, computes the

average “spectrum” (level distribution over the frequency

range) and displays this as a two-dimensional graph, with

frequency on the x-axis and level on the y-axis.

Statistics (Cubase only)

The Statistics function analyzes the selected audio (events,

clips or range selections) and displays a window with vari-

ous information. Use the Help button in the dialog for

details.

Hitpoints

This submenu relates to Cubase’s special Hitpoint detec-

tion functions. This is a special feature that detects transient

attacks in audio material and adds a type of marker, a “hit-

point” at each attack. Once the hitpoints have been cor-

rectly set, you can slice up the file which amongst other

things enables you to change the tempo without affecting

pitch.

The submenu contains the following items:

Realtime Processing

The items on this submenu relate to the realtime process-

ing features in Cubase.

The submenu contains the following items:

Advanced

The Advanced submenu contains the following items:

Stereo Flip This function works with stereo audio selections only. It

allows you to manipulate the left and right channel in var-

ious ways.

Time Stretch This function allows you to change the length and

“tempo” of the selected audio, without affecting the pitch.

Option Description

Calculate

Hitpoints Invokes the hitpoint calculation in the Sample Editor.

Create Audio

Slices from

Hitpoints

Slices the event according to the hitpoints and adjusts

the tempo of the loop to the current project tempo.

Create Groove

Quantize from

Hitpoints

Creates a new groove quantize map according to the hit-

points in the event.

Create Markers

from Hitpoints Creates markers (on the Marker track) according to the

hitpoints.

Option Description

Divide Audio

Events at

Hitpoints

Splits the event into several events, according to the hit-

points.

Remove

Hitpoints This removes all hitpoints.

Option Description

Create

Warp Tabs

from Hitpoints

This creates warp tabs from calculated hitpoints. This

can be done by either directly selecting this item without

creating hitpoints first, or by first creating and editing hit-

points and then selecting this item.

Quantize Audio This allows you to quantize audio according to the set

quantize resolution in the Project.

Flatten This allows you to flatten the realtime processing to con-

serve CPU power.

Unstretch

Audio This allows you to undo the realtime time stretching pro-

cessing. For this item to be selectable an audio event has

to be open in the Sample Editor.

Option Description

Detect Silence The Detect Silence function searches for silent sections

in an event, and either splits the event, removing the silent

parts from the project, or creates regions corresponding

to the non-silent sections.

Event or Range

as Region This function is available when one or several audio

events are selected or a selection range has been made

encompassing one or several audio events. It creates a

region in the corresponding clip, according to the follow-

ing rules:

• If no selection range or hitpoints exist, the start and end

position of the region will be determined by the start and

end position of the event within the clip.

• If a selection range exists in the event, this will be used.

• If hitpoints exist in the event, regions will be created be-

tween each hitpoint.

Events from

Regions This function is available if you have selected an audio

event whose clip contains regions within the boundaries

of the event. The function will remove the original event

and replace it with event(s) positioned and sized accord-

ing to the region(s).

Set Tempo

from Event Adjusts the project tempo to the tempo detected in the

edited loop.

Option Description

Menu Reference

Events to Part

This allows you to create a part from selected audio

events.

Dissolve Part

This menu item dissolves a selected audio part and makes

any audio events it contains appear as independent ob-

jects on the track.

Snap Point to Cursor

This allows you to set the snap point to the current cursor

position.

Bounce Selection

This allows you to create either a new clip or a new audio

file from a selection.

Find Selected in Pool

This can be used to quickly find the clips in the Pool for

events selected in the Project window. When this menu

item is selected, the Pool opens with the corresponding

clip(s) highlighted.

Update Origin

The original start position where a clip was recorded in the

project is shown in the Pool’s “Origin Time” column. As this

value can be used as a basis for the “Insert into Project”

Media menu item (and other functions), you can change it if

desired. This can be done by selecting the corresponding

clip in the Pool, moving the project cursor to the new posi-

tion and selecting this menu item.

Crossfade

This allows you to create a crossfade between two se-

lected consecutive audio events.

•If the two events overlap, the crossfade will be applied

to the overlapping area.

•If they do not overlap (but their respective audio clips

do), the events are resized and a crossfade is applied in

the overlapping range.

Remove Fades

This will remove any fades or crossfades from a selected

event.

Open Fade Editor(s)

This opens the Fade dialog for a selected event. Note that

this will open two dialogs if the event has both fade-in and

fade-out curves.

Adjust Fades to Range

This allows you to adjust a fade area according to a range

selection.

Fade In to Cursor (Cubase only)

This applies a linear fade in from the start of the selected

event(s) to the position of the project cursor.

Fade Out to Cursor (Cubase only)

This applies a linear fade out from the end of the selected

event(s) to the position of the project cursor.

Remove Volume Curve

This will remove any event envelope curves for selected

events.

Offline Process History…

This opens the Offline Process History dialog. In the dia-

log you can remove some or all processing previously ap-

plied to a clip. See the dialog help for details.

Freeze Edits…

This allows you to make any processing or applied effects

permanent for a clip.

Close Gaps Applies time stretch to close the gaps between slices

(typically when the project tempo is lower than the loop

tempo).

Stretch to

Project Tempo Stretches the selected event(s) to fit the project tempo.

Requires that hitpoints have been calculated for the

event(s).

Delete

Overlaps Used when recording audio in Stacked Cycle Recording

mode. In this mode, each take (cycle lap) ends up on a

separate lane on the track in the Project window. After

editing the takes (composing a “perfect take” for exam-

ple), you can select Delete Overlaps to return the sepa-

rate takes to a single lane and remove all overlapped

material – e.g. only the material that will be played back

will be visible in the Project window.

Option Description

Menu Reference

MIDI menu

Open Key Editor

This opens the Key Editor for the selected MIDI part(s) or

track(s). This editor consists of a piano-roll type graphic

interface, with the notes shown as boxes in a grid.

Open Score Editor

This opens the Score Editor where MIDI data is inter-

preted as a musical score.

Open Drum Editor

This opens the Drum Editor which is designed especially

for editing drum and percussion tracks.

Open List Editor

This opens the List Editor. In this editor, MIDI notes, con-

trollers and other events are shown in a list.

Open In-Place Editor

This opens the In-Place Editor in the Project window. It

looks like a miniature Key Editor and allows MIDI editing.

Over Quantize

Quantizing is a function that automatically moves re-

corded notes, positioning them on exact note values. This

quantizes the selected MIDI parts or notes, according to

the current Quantize pop-up menu setting.

Iterative Quantize

Instead of moving a note to the closest quantize grid posi-

tion, Iterative Quantize moves it only part of the way. You

specify how much the notes should be moved towards the

grid with the Iterative Strength setting in the Quantize

Setup dialog.

Quantize Setup…

In the Quantize Setup dialog you can make various quan-

tize settings.

Advanced Quantize

Transpose…

This opens the Transpose dialog, where you can make

transpose settings for selected notes.

Merge MIDI in Loop

This combines all MIDI events between the left and right

locator on all unmuted tracks and generates a new MIDI

part, containing all the events as you would hear them play

back. The new part will end up on the selected track, be-

tween the locators. You are asked whether to include

MIDI insert effects and/or send effects and whether to

overwrite (erase) the data on the destination track.

A typical use for this is to “freeze” the settings you have

made in the MIDI Track Inspector, applying e.g. MIDI ef-

fects to a single part.

Freeze MIDI Modifiers

This function applies all filter settings to the respective

track and (in contrast to Merge MIDI in Loop) takes the re-

sult as the new standard.

Option Description

Quantize

Lengths This will quantize the length of the notes without chang-

ing their start positions. At its most basic level, this func-

tion will set the length of the notes to the Length

Quantize value on the toolbar of the MIDI editors.

Quantize

Ends The Quantize Ends function on the Quantize submenu

will only affect the end positions of notes. Apart from that,

it works just like regular quantizing, taking the Quantize

pop-up menu setting into account.

Undo

Quantize You can revert the selected MIDI notes to their original,

unquantized state at any time. This is independent from

the regular Undo History.

Freeze

Quantize There may be situations when you want to make the

quantized positions “permanent”. For example, you may

want to quantize notes a second time, having the results

based on the current quantized positions rather than the

original positions. To make this possible, select the notes

in question and use this function.

Part to Groove This menu item allows you to create a groove quantize

map from a selected MIDI part.

Menu Reference

Dissolve Part

This function has two uses:

•To separate events according to MIDI channel when a

MIDI Part contains events on different channels (MIDI

channel “Any”).

•To separate MIDI events according to pitch.

Drum tracks typically have separate drum sounds for each pitch.

The dialog contains two additional options:

Bounce Selection

With this function, you can combine MIDI parts on several

lanes to a single MIDI part. This can be used to reassem-

ble a drum part that you dissolved onto several lanes for

editing, for example.

During the bounce process, any muted parts will be re-

moved. If transpose and velocity values were specified for

the parts, these are taken into account as well.

O-Note Conversion

This function (only available if a drum map has been as-

signed for the MIDI track) goes through the selected MIDI

part(s) and sets the actual pitch of each note according to

its O-note setting. This is useful if you want to convert the

track to a “regular” MIDI track (with no drum map) and still

have the notes play back the correct drum sound.

Repeat Loop

This menu item is only available if an Independent Track

Loop has been set in one of the MIDI editors. When se-

lected, the Events inside the loop range will be repeated

until the end of the part. Events in the same part that fol-

low the loop will be replaced by the events in the loop.

Functions

Option Description

Optimized

Display When this is activated, the silent (empty) areas of the result-

ing parts are automatically removed.

This option is not available when “Dissolve to Sublanes” is

activated, see below.

Dissolve to

Sublanes When this is activated, the part will not be dissolved onto dif-

ferent tracks but onto different sublanes of the original track.

Option Description

Legato Extends each selected note so that it reaches the next

note. You can specify the desired gap or overlap with the

“Legato Overlap” setting in the Preferences dialog (Edit-

ing–MIDI page).

Fixed

Lengths Resizes all selected notes to the length set with the Length

Quantize pop-up menu on the MIDI Editor toolbar.

Delete

Doubles Removes double notes, i.e. notes of the same pitch on

the exact same position. Double notes can occur when

recording in Cycle mode, after Quantizing, etc. This func-

tion always affects whole MIDI parts.

Delete

Controllers Removes all MIDI controller events from the selected

MIDI parts. This function always affects whole MIDI parts.

Delete

Continuous

Controllers

Removes all continuous MIDI controller events from the

selected MIDI parts. On/Off events, such as sustain

pedal events, are not removed. This function always af-

fects whole MIDI parts.

Delete

Notes… Allows you to delete very short or weak notes. This is

useful for automatically removing unwanted “ghost

notes” after recording. Selecting “Delete Notes…” opens

a dialog in which you set up the criteria for the function.

Restrict

Polyphony Selecting this item opens a dialog in which you can spec-

ify how many “voices” should be used (for the selected

notes or parts). Restricting the polyphony this way is use-

ful when you have an instrument with limited polyphony

and want to make sure all notes will be played. The effect

is achieved by shortening notes as required, so that they

end before the next note starts.

Pedals to

Note Length This function scans for sustain pedal on/off events,

lengthens the affected notes to match the sustain pedal

off position, and then removes the Sustain Controller on/

off events.

Delete Overlaps

(mono) This function allows you to make sure that no two notes

of the same pitch overlap (i.e. that one starts before the

other ends). Overlapping notes of the same pitch can

confuse some MIDI instruments (a new Note On is trans-

mitted before the Note Off is transmitted). This command

can then be used to automatically rectify the problem.

Delete Overlaps

(poly) This function shortens notes when required, so that no

note begins before another ends. This happens regard-

less of which pitch the notes have.

Velocity… Opens a dialog that allows you to manipulate the velocity

of notes in various ways.

Fixed Velocity This function sets the velocity of all selected notes to the

Insert Velocity value on the toolbar in the MIDI Editors.

Thin Out Data This thins out your MIDI data. Use this to ease the load on

MIDI devices if you have recorded very dense controller

curves etc.

Extract MIDI

Automation This option allows you to automatically convert continu-

ous controller data of a MIDI part into MIDI track automa-

tion data.

Menu Reference

Logical Editor…

This opens the Logical Editor where you can perform ad-

vanced “search and replace” operations on MIDI data.

Logical Presets

This submenu contains various presets for use with the

Logical Editor.

Drum Map Setup…

This is where you load, create, modify and save drum

maps. The list to the left shows the currently loaded drum

maps; selecting a drum map in the list displays its sounds

and settings to the right.

Insert Velocities…

All MIDI editors feature an Insert Velocity pop-up, where

one of five different velocity values can be selected when

inserting notes. This menu item allows you to specify

which five velocity values should be available on the Insert

Velocity pop-up menu.

VST Expression Setup…

This opens a dialog that allows you to load and/or set up

expression maps. Expression Maps allow you to define a

set of musical articulations that can be used for a track, al-

lowing you to correctly play back legatos and accents, or

switch from bowed to plucked sounds for strings for ex-

ample. See the Operation manual for details.

CC Automation Setup…

This opens the MIDI Controller Automation Setup dialog,

where you can specify how existing MIDI controller auto-

mation should be handled on playback (if there is a con-

flict), and where new controller automation should be

recorded. See the Automation chapter in the Operation

Manual for details.

Reset

This function sends out note-off messages and resets

controllers on all MIDI channels. You can use this if you

experience hanging notes or stuck controllers etc.

Scores menu

Open Selection

This opens the selected part(s) in the Score Editor.

Open Layout…

This opens a list of available score layouts. Select the de-

sired layout in the list and click OK to open the tracks con-

tained in the layout in the Score Editor.

which shows how the score appears on printed pages.

Some features of the Score Editor are only available in

Page Mode.

Settings…

This opens the Score Settings dialog in which you can set

the appearance and behavior of the score.

Group/Ungroup Notes

This function allows you to manually group and ungroup

selected notes.

Convert to Grace Note

This allows you to manually convert one or more selected

notes to grace notes.

Reverse This inverts the order of the selected events (or of all

events in the selected parts), causing the MIDI music to

play backwards. Note though, that the effect is different

from reversing an audio recording. With MIDI, the individ-

ual notes will still play as usual in the MIDI instrument –

it’s only the order of playback that is changed.

Merge Tempo

from Tapping If you have freely recorded audio or MIDI and want to

match the project tempo to that, you can tap the tempo

by recording MIDI notes, select the recorded part and se-

lect this function. This adapts the Tempo track to the

tempo you have tapped, adding new tempo events where

needed.

Option Description

Menu Reference

Build N-Tuplet…

This allows you to create tuplets from selected notes, with

or without changing the MIDI data.

Insert Slur

objects. All objects can be hidden, e.g. notes, rests, sym-

bols, clefs, bar lines and even entire staves. To make hid-

den objects temporarily visible, activate the Hidden Notes

checkbox on the display filter bar. To make them perma-

nently visible, select them and click Hide/Show again.

Import Audio CD…

This opens a dialog that allows you to import audio from

audio CDs.

Import Pool… (Cubase only)

Steinberg’s Cubase applications, as well as Nuendo, can

export the Pool as a separate file (file extension “.npl”).

Such Pool files can be imported into Cubase by using the

Import Pool command on the Media menu. When you im-

port a Pool file, the file references in it are “added” to the

current Pool.

The audio and video files themselves are not saved in the

Pool file, only a reference to them. For there to be any

point in importing a Pool file, you need access to all refer-

ence files (which preferably should have the same file

paths as when the Pool was saved).

Export Pool… (Cubase only)

This allows you to export the pool as a separate file (see

above).

Find Missing Files…

This opens the Resolve Missing Files dialog that can be

used to find referenced files that may have been moved or

renamed etc.

In the dialog that appears, decide if you want the program

to try to find the file for you (Search), if you want to do it

yourself (Locate) or if you want to specify in which direc-

tory the program should search for the file (Folder).

Remove Missing Files

If the Pool contains audio files that cannot be found or re-

constructed, you may want to remove these:

Select this item to remove all missing files from the Pool

(and remove their corresponding events from the Project

window).

Reconstruct

If a missing file cannot be found (e.g. if you have acciden-

tally deleted it from the hard disk), it will normally be indi-

cated with a question mark in the Status column in the

Pool. However, if the missing file is an edit file (a file cre-

ated when you process audio, stored in the Edits folder

within the project folder), it may be possible for the pro-

gram to reconstruct it by recreating the editing to the orig-

inal audio file.

Convert Files…

This opens the Convert Options dialog which operates on

selected files. Use the pop-up menus to specify which au-

dio file attributes you want to keep and which you want to

convert.

Conform Files…

This will change all selected files that have different file at-

tributes to what is specified for the project, to conform to

this standard.

Extract Audio from Video File

This allows you to extract the audio from a video file on

disk, whereupon a new clip with the audio will appear in

the Pool Record folder. The clip will get the same name as

the video file from which it was extracted, and the sample

rate and file format used in the project.

Generate Thumbnail Cache

This generates a thumbnail cache of the video, used for

display in case of strained computing resources.

Menu Reference

Create Folder

This allows you to create a new audio or video subfolder.

Empty Trash

To delete a file permanently from the hard disk, it must first

be moved to the Trash folder. When clips are in the Trash

folder they can be removed permanently by using this

command.

Remove Unused Media

This function finds all clips in the Pool that are not used in

the project, and either moves them to the Pool Trash folder

where they can be permanently deleted, or removes them

from the Pool.

Prepare Archive…

This command should be used when you want to archive a

project. It checks that every clip referenced in the project

is located in the same folder.

Set Pool Record Folder

This is used to designate a new Pool Record folder. Se-

lect the folder, and choose this command to change the

Pool Record folder to the selected folder.

Minimize File

This allows you to change the size of audio files according

to the audio clips referenced in a project. The files pro-

duced using this option will only contain the audio file por-

tions actually used in the project, which can significantly

reduce the size of the project (given that large portions of

the audio files are unused).

New Version

This allows you to create a new version of a selected clip.

The new version appears in the same Pool folder, with the

same name but with a “version number” after it, to indicate

that the new clip is a duplicate. The first copy made of a

clip will logically get the version number “2” and so on.

ÖCopying a clip does not create a new file on disk, but

just a new edit version of the clip (referring to the same

original file).

Insert into Project

This allows you to insert clips selected in the Pool into the

project, at the current cursor position or at the clip’s Ori-

gin position.

Select in Project

With this function you can find out which events in the

project refer to a particular clip in the Pool. Select the clip

in the Pool, and use this menu item. The corresponding

event(s) will then be selected in the Project window.

Search Media…

You can perform a search of the Pool to locate particular

clips or regions. You can specify various criteria to match

in the dialog that appears.
