Cubase VST has a number of real time features for filtering out MIDI data and for converting one type of MIDI data into another. These are called “real time” functions because they work “in the background” while the program is recording or playing back. It is these features that are described in this chapter.
In addition, Cubase VST has a number of filtering and mapping (transformation) editing features, in List Edit, Logical Edit and on the Functions menu. These permanently change the recorded data. They are described in their respective chapters.
