Recording MIDI data
Here's how to record your playing. If you connect a MIDI
keyboard to the SonicCell, you'll be able to record musical
data from the keyboard.
If using Performance mode:
Set the MIDI channel of your MIDI keyboard to match the
number of the part you want to record.
If using Patch mode:
Set the MIDI channel of your MIDI keyboard to 1.
1. Click the record button in the Transport Panel, and play
your MIDI keyboard.
2. Click the stop button in the Transport Panel to stop
recording.
Saving the project file
The Cubase 4 project file also includes SonicCell Editor's
performance data and patch data.
This means that if you save your project file, you normally
won't need to save data in SonicCell Editor.
1. From the menu, choose "File" - "Save" to open the "Save
As" dialog box.
2. Assign the desired name, and click [Save].

Opening a project file
Cubase 4 project files include SonicCell Editor's performance
data and patch data.
This means that when you open a project file, you normally
won't need to open data in SonicCell Editor.
If using Performance mode:
1. Close Cubase 4.
2. On the SonicCell module, select a different performance
than the one you're currently using.
This is so you can verify that the performance data is
reproduced when you open a project.
3. Double-click the project file you saved earlier; Cubase 4
will start up.
SonicCell Editor will open together with the project.
The patch data saved in the project file will be
reproduced on the SonicCell module.
If using Patch mode:
1. Close Cubase 4.
2. On the SonicCell module, select a different patch than the
one you're currently using.
This is so you can verify that the patch data is reproduced
when you open a project.
3. Double-click the project file you saved earlier; Cubase 4
will start up.
SonicCell Editor will open together with the project.
The performance data saved in the project file will be
reproduced on the SonicCell module.
Recording multiple parts
If you're using Performance mode, you can edit and save the
parameters for multiple SonicCell parts.
1. Repeat the following steps for the desired number of parts.
"Adding a MIDI track" (p. 161)
"Selecting a patch" (p. 161)
"Editing patch parameters" (p. 161)
"Recording MIDI data" (p. 162)
2. Finally, execute "Save the project file" to save the multiple
SonicCell parts along with the musical data.
