Recording MIDI with the Lambda Studio
Section II - Recording MIDI with the lambda studio™
The Lambda Studio™ also functions as a MIDI interface. This allows you to record MIDI data into a MIDI track of Cubase® LE, and play that MIDI data back from the computer into a keyboard, sound module or effects processor.
Here is an example of recording a MIDI track in Cubase LE using a MIDI keyboard:
1.To record MIDI data into the computer, connect the MIDI out from the keyboard to the MIDI In on the Lambda Studio. Connect the MIDI Out from the Lambda Studio hardware to the MIDI in on the keyboard.
2.To hear your keyboard, you either need to run the line output of the keyboard to one (mono) or two (stereo) Line inputs on the back of the Lambda Studio, or use the keyboard's headphone output.
3.Open Cubase LE and start a new default project. Click on the gray area (not on the buttons) of the MIDI Track 1 window (labeled MIDI 01).
4.In the Inspector, click the IN: box and select Lexicon® USB MIDI.
5.Click the OUT: box and select Lexicon USB MIDI for the MIDI
outputs. Click the Record Enable button on MIDI track 1.
6.Click the Record button on the Transport and play your keyboard. You are now recording MIDI data from the keyboard. If you don’t see data in the track, check the settings of the keyboard to make sure it’s set to transmit on the same MIDI channel that Cubase LE is set to receive on. In some cases, you may want to set the keyboard to “local off” and set Cubase LE to “Echo” mode. For more information, consult the Cubase LE online manual and your keyboard’s manual.
