I've always assumed they are (or perhaps were, historically) simply a quick and convenient way to set up a default orchestral balance, default instrument articulations, etc, at the start of a new composing session, or else perhaps at some other moment where a new segment of the composition needs to be tried without continuing from the current state of various automation tracks.Īnd yet . I've seen many YT videos in which these little regions are present but I've yet to feel any pressing need for them myself. Very good question - I too am curious about exactly how and why people use these little automation regions at the beginning of the timeline in the DAW not only for the case of enabling/disabling VEP channels. Hello Tonelabaudio and welcome to the forum. Mute the part by default, and umute when you need it - job done! If I understand you correctly, you just record the key like any midi into cubase - one note on the keyroll. The other response that I received when reaching out to the gentleman in the first YT video was: Then I mute it back while composing for that session.

Then that makes it so all the instruments are triggered to activate on. So, at the start of my session, I'll unmute the event (which is white when muted) and then press play. Yes, those are basically small regions that all have a CC19 triggered at 1 unit which enables the tracks on inside of VEP. When asked about the small squares that appear at the start of every track the response was: Your time and assistance will be greatly appreciated. I am providing the links below as well as their response.

I have reached out to both presenters but sadly their response really has not been of much help. When unmuted that action appears to enable the corresponding channel in VEP7. The specific part that I am confused by is where a short (tiny) region of a midi track in Cubase is muted / unmuted. Unfortunately, I have been out of the loop for so long that what I see being done in those presentations feels totally foreign to me. I have watched two YT videos where this is being done. I am looking for some guidance on how to setup a Cubase orchestral template whereby I can automate the enabling / disabling of channels that reside in VEP 7.
