Setting up Cubase
1
Start Cubase on your computer.
Important
Cubase cannot recognize the instrument if you turn the power of the instrument on after starting Cubase. Make
sure to start Cubase after turning on the power of the instrument.
2
On Cubase, open a new project.
Select the "Empty" project in the "More" area of the Project Assistant window, and then click [Create].
3
Create a MIDI track.
Click "Project" menu  "Add Track"  "MIDI"  [Add Track].
4
On the MIDI track, set the Input/Output Routing to disable the MIDI thru function.
Set the Input Routing to "All MIDI Input" and set the Output Routing to "Not Connected." All MIDI data will be input
to Cubase, and MIDI track data will not be output to the instrument. Disable the MIDI thru function of the MIDI track
in order to prevent the to-be-recorded Arpeggio phrase from being output to the instrument, which would
otherwise result in a feedback loop between the instrument and the computer.
