I hope Steinberg will revise and update features of the ancient midi tools. Sequencers plays super important role in today's music.

[@g.o.9513]

Be more specific with stating what you want.

[@InLightTone]

Actually all Steinber/Cubase needs to do is to allow 3rd party midi VST's to be hosted in the MFX slots...

[@LoveMeBack]

Yeah it’s old. Needs to be more interesting. Why is there randomizing if it’s not quantized to a key. I know You can do that in the editor but come on!

[@terrillpercussion536]

Fantastic tutorial! So many little things in Cubase I haven't found yet!

[@hagenpresser8721]

As always, great job, Greg

[@walterblackledge1137]

Greg, Very helpful. thanks

[@johandevilliers8582]

Awesome!

[@sirlordcomixx1]

You read my mind, I was looking at this last night, and thought hmm I need to try this. And now your helpful video.

[@MrEMann]

This is great. I haven't even scratched the surface of what Cubase can do.

[@Griuofficial]

Thanks for the video!

[@-______-______-]

Interesting. This will help make some sequences better than arpache which is what I've been trying lately.

[@rikkshow]

Imagine if the midi inserts had a vst container so you could use any third party midi plugin like this. Crazy that it is missing...

[@LondonSteveLee]

Wow - blast from the past forgot about StepDesigner!

[@rogercabo5545]

Hi Greg, didn't you wanted to create a videos about the optical half transparent frequency clashing withe internal EQ while comparing 2 instrument/audio tracks?

[@紅葉亀]

request: larger window ( to see better and without sporadic movement of the scale)

[@QuantizStudioRecords]

It is possible to put notes with the keys? This is much quickly job for piano players

[@yevhenlokhmatov]

why I need this tool if all it much quicker to do in key editor? c`mon Steinberg, give us more modern approach to do things! this is all too old and not usable tools! I need more ableton style things in cubase (like lfo for every parameter I want for example, and also make lfo for lfo, that modular things like in ableton and bitwig will be very useful in cubase)

[@lovemusic942]

Greg isn't doing this video just for you. So you really don't have to use it. I do this with the other midi effects all the time.

[@joolm4976]

When I record stepdesigner on a MIDI track(output connected to an external analog synth), it doesn't record anything on the MIDI track. Any recommendation?

[@danta7320]

the midi effects at Cubase are somehow still like for 10 years when I compare that with earlier versions, there are no big updates with midi the step sequencer is such a great tool but it needs some new features I wish for a more extensive step sequencer for the future

[@pietroguarnaccia5718]

I would like create a sequence just of volume or other cc message and create the midi part with midi editor: it’s possible? I mean do the inverse of process of recording.. write on the midi editor and edit volume and cc with this tool.. Or there are other tools? Thank you

[@serkandemirhanofficial]

Actually what I would like to see in Cubase is, note display ! Like the one in Logic transport panel.

[@g.o.9513]

Interesting.

[@timsamsung3736]

Would love to see advanced 303 accents in it

[@user-ts8dj8pk8z]

OMG! Everyone knows how it works. You must make a video about advantages we can get if we're using this plugin instead of the key editor.

[@NikolausBrocke]

Is it possible to follow the chord track?

[@ALessandrone]

This is fun but the problem with it is that the result is not even remotely plasing, or something that i would use.

[@serkandemirhanofficial]

Thanks. You know no one gonna use it since there are no presets in them like most of the stock plugins.

[@MrEMann]

Not everyone lives in the preset world. Creating your own sequences is worth the effort and keeps you from sounding like everyone else.

[@gregondo376]

There are presets in Step Designer.

[@CrimeThinkBeats]

What is the point of this when the same thing can be accomplished with the key editor, and in one less step??
