How to Use The Logical Editor in Cubase | Q&A with Greg Ondo

[@LuigiSuardiMusic]

0:30 Logical Editor availability 0:50 Logical Editor Areas --- DIFFERENT EXAMPLES 1:34 Operations on Velocity 4:28 Operations on Chord Voicing 6:30 Operations for Drum Editing 11:03 Operations on MIDI CC Thank you Greg for these very clear examples

[@TaylorSappe]

Excellent video for my Cubase reference files. Is there a reference chart or cheat sheet that tells us what each value means for each parameter? I finally absorbed the fact that value 1 is pitch and value 2 is velocity on the note parameter, but don't have a clue of what it means on other parameters.

The manual: steinberg.help/cubase_pro/v10/en/cubase_nuendo/topics/logical_editor_transformer_and_input_transformer/logical_editor_filter_conditions_setting_up_general_procedure_r.html

[@plekkchand]

Yes, it would seem logical to have included this in the video.

[@gerhardbinkele3753]

Maybe the best 15 min about the LOGICAL EDITOR so far - THANKS A LOT !!! One thing I become aware of when seeing this video: I'm often surprised by the option you can choose from if you select a certain value before. It would help me a lot (and maybe I'm not the only only ...) if I had a manual (or PDF) with all the different values and options you can choose from in the logical editor . Or what do other think about that? .... I just looked at my already existing manual (C Pro 9.5 - german in my case - page 905 ff) - and there you have it: ALL these options are listed here!!! So it is just time to open the manual again. ... and you Steinberg-guys have done the job already !!!

[@TomiBonTomi_2.0]

After a long time, I needed to refresh my logical editor programming skills. Your video was very helpful! Thanks Greg!

[@bgy66]

Excellent video indeed! Q: Is there a way (or a Cubase 10.5 Pro direct funktion) to divide a miditrack (instrument track) into 2 new tracks by a split note? F.e. I would like to have a fast function (shortcut-able) to separate a piano track into left and right hands by using f.e. C3 as a splitpoint? Thans in advance!

[@Anriuko]

Not sure about your requirements but the extract function at 8:03 sounds close to doing what you describe.

[@Jellybeantiger]

This has to be the most Illogical Editor I have used. The commands are like advanced Computer programming. For this sort of scripted editing,Reaper would be the way to go as it has SWS scripts for everything and the Scripts tell you in plain language ,what they do,not Computer tech garble like Cubase's Logical Editor. Why Value 1 when it is PItch? Why not have Pitch listed instead to make it less confusing??? The Pull your Hair Out Editor more like it.

[@jamjestrysiek]

In 2024 thi first part of this pideo (about randomizing velocities) is not valid anymore. I wish to randomize each piece of midi drum kit separately. Unfortunatelly I can't copy these settings as they don't exist in Cubase 13...

[@EleanaorPrescot]

Being new to Cubase, I jumped in at the deep end and grabbed Cubase Pro12. I needed to accent every 4th not. This tutorial showed me how. Thank you so very much.

[@SlaveToTheGame]

the only thing in the internet that could help me with my "cubase double bpm problem" from 300 to 600 bpm. thank you very much! it saved me from hours of restretching.

[@OlegVoronin]

Hello, Thank you for the video. Editing vst drums now i know how to randomize velocity, but could you please explain how to do the same to randomize note position? to humanize the vst drums? thank you!

[@MrGreekBlade]

complex function..not easy to use

[@vanhaze2000]

Extremely powerful, many thanks Greg, awesome tut !

[@richardbonduelle1037]

Bonjour, pourrais-tu m'expliquer comment associer la hauteur des notes au panoramique: note basse, pan à gauche, note haute, pan à droite. merci pour ta réponse.

[@nathanreddent2427]

It’s logical to know that using the logical editor is slow and confusing.

[@manuntvg01]

F&cking Awesome..! Thanks

[@MohammadSalah1979]

How about Add Multi Midi Controller in Logical Editor

[@QuantumComposer]

The UI of that editor could be done so much better...

[@roxnroll8050]

EXCELLENT Vid! How would you select, for example, 5 bars of 1/16th kicks, and de-select every other one, so that I can move it, change velocity, etc? If I choose D#2, for example, it'll affect every other MIDI note on D#2, when I only want my selection affected. How would I do this?

[@DAUBSKI]

how do i change the collor of the editor?

[@Scotlanz]

I only learned how to make macros yesterday after putting it off for years. This logical editor might wait decades. 😆

[@benshirleymusic]

Good Lord....I've been diving into the Logical Editor. I made a preset "Select 1st Notes" It didn't do anything. I just watched this after I got home and saw that I had Transform set in the Logical Editor instead of Select. Can't wait to get back tomorrow morning and try this. Thanks Greg!

[@martonsipos]

Hi. I would like to invert MIDI with Logical Editor but no VST 3 Value Operation is available. I'm using Cubase Pro 9.5 Please help me on this. Thank you!

[@theinteresting6274]

WOW! how does one delete doubled drum midi notes with this? ( I learned that "all midi inputs" on will record double notes.) hehe,, can it be done with this? cubase takes forever to respond to my support question

[@pamboscharalambous3770]

Dear Greg, thanks for all the videos and help you are giving to us... I have a specific question for you. I am using a breath controller for expression. Although due to the limitations of midi and poor resolution in steps, i can actually hear the staircase effect. After a lot of search i found dissolve cc, and thin out data functions... But i need exactly the opposite, how can i populate the cc data so that cubase adds the steps. For example from 64 to 74 it simply adds the rest of the increments, smoothing out the curve? Please tell me this is possible :P Thanks.

[@johndennaford]

Good tutorial. Easy to follow and reproduce in my software after shying away from the User Guide on Logical Editing.

[@jmkogey]

Thanks Greg

[@matthewlewis2752]

So how do I apply my Midi Logical Editor presets to a macro? I'm only seeing options for Process Logical Presets in the key commands window.

[@RomantiqueTp]

The logical editor is much easier to use than it seems. I strongly recommend everyone to try to learn at least its basic functions.

[@skylightmusicshowree]

Thanks. I must get back into using this. Back in the Atari days, when we could only edit MIDI, I used this and the list editor quite a lot. I'd forgotten how powerful it was as an alternative to using the list and key editors to perform certain tasks automatically :-)

[@thaexception3406]

Insightful!

[@gastonjabaly]

Yaa no thanks lol

[@TheFujac]

delete empty tracks deletes group tracks too (on mac).....i love the editor but that seems like something they need to fix

[@tonycarpenter-Makzimia]

Reminds me of part of what I have done with CAL in Cakewalk, ages ago too. Nice, thanks Greg.

[@panayiotisioannou6954]

Any idea on how to program the logical editor to randomize all velocities except on beat 1 of every bar?

[@rjkral]

Any place we can download extra presets that others have created?

[@MrNightowl1980]

What a great great tutorial Greg. It's now time for me to realy dive into more info about the logical editor! Thank you!

[@EliteOnTheBeat]

The logical editor puts the piano roll on steroids.

[@tronlady1]

I’ve Avoided logical editor for about 20 years and after watching this…..I finally get it 🤩

[@Cubase]

Hey tronlady 1, that is fantastic, the Logical Editor really is a powerful tool. There will be some more tutorial videos about it in the next weeks. Stay tuned!

[@pastilance1]

It's insane how useful the logical editor is, thank you!

[@njm20music]

where on the qwerty keyboard are the sharp and flat keys, im using cubase pro 10 on an iMac 27 Mojave .cheers Greg

[@johndennaford]

The sharp is the hash key # (SHIFT+ 3 on a MAC?)and the flat is a lowercase B (b)

[@photomoco6629]

Thanks Greg! Had no idea what that thing was!

[@Mr.HYd3]

Thank you Greg nice tutorial :-)

[@nondelusional]

i am gonna study this so much until i master it.

[@davidmcnamara7928]

Many great real life examples. Thanks! Side Note: If you record all your jams in MIDI and think something worth revisiting happened, you can hit something to mark that spot: High C, Low A, special foot pedal, whatever. Then you can use the logical editor to go back and find it... a big time saver once you've accumulated hundreds (thousands?) of hours of material.

[@gregondo376]

I would just drop a marker and you can easily navigate to markers.

[@stephenborntrager6542]

Having thousands of hours of material in a single project sounds a little crazy. Otherwise, you'd be needing an external content manager of some sort, I would think. With lots of meta-data, tags, etc. Cubase has a media browser that can work for audio-clips, if you render them to a common library folder, but I'm not sure about midi-events. I always record new sessions in new projects...

[@davidmcnamara7928]

Stephen Borntrager True, you can’t easily manage thousands of hours of MIDI recordings in a single Cubase project. I record about a half hour of improvs on each track and then start a new one while disabling all older tracks to save CPU. You probably could handle hundreds of MIDI hours that way but I stop at 32 tracks (~16 hrs) and start a new project. After that I export it as a MIDI file to a folder... all tracks are combined into one MIDI file. I’m a programmer so I use either NAudio for .NET or Max to search for high C. The MIDI tracks have uniques names so once I find a high C section I can easily open the Cubase project and go right to that section.

[@stephenborntrager6542]

Nice! Having the ability to create software is really convenient sometimes ;) I've considered trying to make a search tool, but I haven't actually done it yet. (NAudio looks like it will come in handy!) I'm going to have to clean up my projects one of these days anyway. As it stands now... I have to remember that 'that one clip' was in "Untitled-12" from "Cubase (5)", etc.

[@yams900]

Good work Greg !

[@fjn667]

This is amazing

[@nondelusional]

Greg i am always missing the hang-outs , is there anyway i can get notifications in advance as to when the hang-outs will occur ? i praise you sooooooooo much for the info you reveal. you are my main inspiration for using cubase and wavelab.

[@gerhardbinkele3753]

If you subscribe this channel you can see a message occurring in your new YT-channel-videos 2-3 weeks before the next hang-out. Click it and you get a message when the live-stream starts. Or you can watch all the hang-out later on this channel. Here's the playlist: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnzHo2qPj6iWndk

[@TheFujac]

i also struggle....i don't get anuy notification at all on youtube and i'm already subscribed.....i also can't seem to find it on google hangouts.....i've tried to find cubase in my email account down the left where it says 'search for hangouts' but it never finds anything...

[@gerhardbinkele3753]

I often check my subscribed channels in youtube (almost every day). If you do so, you can not miss it! But there's no e-mail notification.

[@Cubase]

Hi, we always announce them on our Facebook page and we tweet our followers a couple of minutes before it starts, also once it has been schedule you will see it on the front page of the channel and set a reminder.

[@Cubase]

The next hangout will be on January 16. Here is a link kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4mllXZnq9CWidk

[@necrotictrust]

Thank you very much for this vid. one of the most useful you made over the long period.

[@nondelusional]

every video Greg makes is very useful.
