Cubase 5 quick midi guide
Here is a really quick guide to get up and running using the Steinberg Cubase software together with a USB midi keyboard and a few demo soft synths. It is really easy to start going and you will be creating music almost instantly.
I’m not a keyboard player although I like to play around with tech stuff. The song i’m trying to create here is a feeble attempt of Jean Michel Jarre music. And no, this is not a musical statement, it is just a demo song.
Equipment used:
Novation ReMOTE 37 SL midi (via usb) keyboard
Steinberg Cubase 5
Focusrite Saffire LE sound card (Firewire)
ADAM A8 active monitors
Zoom Q3 Handy Recorder (audio and video)
A very standard office computer (IBM Compatible PC)
Here’s a few links you might need:
Steinberg: www.steinberg.net
Novation: www.novationmusic.com
Focusrite: www.focusrite.com

Hey. To install new vst’s just follow the intructions provided with the plugins. Normally you download the plugin, install it in the cubase vst plugin folder and then make sure Cubase detects within from within the setup in cubase. To locate the plugin manager open cubase, click on Devices and then plug-in information. From there you can select folders and also update your vst-instrument library.
