Hi Dom, I appreciate you sharing this video. It brings me joy to see you making humorous expressions while demonstrating your compositions. I enjoy it! By the way, as I was watching the MIDI input, I had an idea to record the rhythm of the piece first, and then use MIDI input to match the pitch to that rhythm. This method is beneficial for those who struggle to play musical pieces at a fast tempo.

Although I'm a keyboard player, I still find great use for step input. My workflow for this is: My qwerty numerical keyboard key commands are used for quantise values.1=whole note, 2=half note etc...Then, left hand for note input, right hand for changing note values. Also, by using the qwerty arrow keys (right and left), I can also input rests. This can mean working quickly on the fly. I think it's a great tool and has many uses. Also, Dom thanks for all your videos and tips...They are terrific and there is always something new for me to pick up...👍👍👍

Yes really good news. Because I had a problem with the Midi Inserts and you Dom save the time! But in the opposite way. Normally I don't use the function for MIDI-Inserts. But sometime in the past I did something in the Midi Editor and I activate the Midi Insert but I forgot to remember me and at this time I had this problem when I marked a midi step in the editor and after that I hit the keyboard controller it will change the Midi note and I was sooo angry because I don't want it. Now I found the key to fix the problem! ;-) Thanks a lot.

I am using this feature forever, cant believe there are people overlooking it... if you have any midi controller, you should exploit power of midi input in every Cubase/Nuendo editor. Typically, I was using this long before chord tracks etc for fixing off key notes that would slip in during the recording, and also, for messing up with drum elements - any of the different drums spread across the piano roll. Midi input is super awesome feature, turning piano roll into step sequencer kinda.

Yep, I've used step input for many years, going back to synth workstations in the mid to late 90s. There weren't as sophisticated as Cubase is now of course but for the meager keyboard players it's a must use tool. As for how I use it, I use it a lot to figure out what chords to play and how I want to voice them, by turning step input on, hitting my next chord, turning it off and then figuring out my next couple of chords and turning step input on and playing them in, rinse and repeat. I don't always do it that way but it's something I do often. I guess mainly I use step input to get started because even with a click playing, my timing is awful. So I'll step input a couple of tracks to be the foundation for the piece and then play along with those and quantize the tracks I input by hand. That way there is some tracks the feel a bit more human and some are locked in to the grid.

I use it to create actual custom Arps that I then drag into the "Arpache SX " sequence" tab and, viola, you have a custom playable Arpeggiator created from the step sequence. You have to right click in the Arpache SX window and choose "Always On Top" so that it doesn't hide before you drag in the midi part into it!

It allows you to punch things in in machine gun rapid fire means. Used to punch in drum programming in these means, start off robotic & if so desired go back & humanise. It's very much the methodology of the hardware sequencers used from programming, it is tactile, so assists pragmatically, in a sense of work happening.

DOM, IF YOU READ THIS, PLEASE DO A COMPARISON OF SCALER 2 AND CUBASE (and the Step/MIDI input, scale assistant and chord pads functions). I'm sure many would like to see how Cubase compares with today's number one "music theory workstation". Step/MIDI input, scale assistant and chord pads introduce Cubase to a whole new market. It's always been designed for people that are trained or experienced in the music production process, especially those with experience from the analog days. So while newer DAWs like FL revolutionized workflow and offered an entirely different approach to making music (Fruity Loops was designed by a video game programmer) which made them more appealing to a younger market of gamers who had no musical training and only used a mouse and keyboard, older DAWs Cubase have always been the musician's DAW. What I like about the introduction of these new tools that they now give Cubase an educational edge above the rest. You may not be to play but with continued use of these tools you will definitely pick up some music theory and improve dexterity because they encourage you to actually play an instrument (midi keyboard controller) instead of relying solely on a computer keyboard and mouse.

Hi Dom, I LOOOOVE your videos. Is there a way to go from a sequence of 8th notes to 16th notes and BOOM (to use your language) to compress them closer to one another? Now when I am composing on the wrote I draw them with the step editor when I have no keyboard but when I need them to play faster notes and I have drawn them as 4th or 8th notes I need to drag each one of them close to the previous note, is there a cool "hack" to do this quickly please?

I knew about the step midi input but I rarely use it as I prefer live recording as I can feel the timing However I do use the midi input to harmonize very rhythmic melodic line in homogenous harmony. I found it to be really affective as I usualdy can't play a melodic big-band like passage with all the harmonies live. Then using explode to assign it to different horns is really affective.

Hi, I’m a bad keyboard player and that’s why I use ‘MIDI Input’ to get the right pitch and velocity but preserve the human feeling of playing in real time with wrong notes. Dom, please do me a favor … please reduce the volume of the music in the intro of your videos. My neighbors will eventually get a heart attack when this music screams out of my speakers :)
