MIDI:Logical presets in Cubase 6
I just upgraded to Cubase 6 and I cant find any Logical presets in the [Midi] category. I used the double and half tempo -MIDI functions in earlier versions all the time. Are they gone in version 6 or did something happen during my installation perhaps. I upgraded fro Cubase 5 essential to Cubase 6 Artist, and later Cubase 6. If they are not here, I hope anyone have suggestions on how to perform these tasks.

Re: MIDI:Logical presets in Cubase 6
Hey I just went to use one of them too and they're all gone. Any ideas? What's the story?

Re: MIDI:Logical presets in Cubase 6
They should indeed still be there.
PC or Mac? (I can really only describe what to check on Mac, but the principle is the same on PC.. maybe someone on PC could "translate" the following?
)...
Do you still have your Cubase 5 Preferences folder? Your Logical Presets should be inside there (on Mac, that is "/Users/<user name>/Library/Preferences/Cubase 5/Presets/Logical Edit".
On PC, I think that is “\Users\<user name\AppData\Roaming\Steinberg\Cubase 5\Presets\Logical Edit”.)
If they are missing from your Cubase 6 Preferences folder, just copy them from Cubase 5.
Otherwise, the Logical Edit factory presets should also be here (as part of the installation data)..
(Mac) Cubase 6.app>Package Contents>presets>Logical Edit>
On PC, I believe the equivalent is the Cubase 6 Program folder.
Anyways, they need to be copied into the destination I mentioned earlier. (Normally, the installer should have done that automatically
)
I hope that can at least lead you in the right direction

Re: MIDI:Logical presets in Cubase 6
Add me to the list of people that cannot find the logical presets. Can a mod chime in here? I used them all the time in Cubase 4 and want to know where I can find them.
Re: MIDI:Logical presets in Cubase 6
Hello,
Did you installed the latest Cubase 6 update ?
Cheers,
Chris

And you can add me as well. Cubase 6.02 Build 291. The Project Editor Presets are present in both the source folder and are available in the program itself, the Logical Editor presets exist in the source folder but are not available in the program.

This is not a general Cubase issue. I coudl be a installation or system problem.Smedula wrote:And you can add me as well. Cubase 6.02 Build 291.

In Cubase you can access the midi logical preset through the Menu Midi--> Logical Presets.
As vic pointed out, the factory logical editor presets are stored in the program folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steinberg\Cubase 6\Presets\Logical Edit
Here the following folders should be located:
Added for Version 3
experimental
Note Expression
standard set 1
standard set 2
Are these Logical Edit folders on your systems in this location?
Do you realy not have the "Midi--> Logical Presets" menu entrys that I was referring to in your midi menu?

Re: MIDI:Logical presets in Cubase 6
I just opened Cubase (6.02 Build 291) project page and the presets were indeed greyed out, but after opening the MIDI Editor ( followed by opening another project with Cubase open) the presets showed as normal. They are only greyed out after the initial opening of Cubase.

Mauri.

The presets are grayed out if there is no midi event with actual midi data in the project. Also the midi logical editor is greyed out if you do not have a midi event with midi data in the project.
Cubase Rulez!

Re: MIDI:Logical presets in Cubase 6
Hi Terry,
By the "initial opening of Cubase" I meant when you open Cubase normally at any time, not the very first time.
Are you looking for the presets from inside the Logical Editor, not from the MIDI menu at the top of the page menu bar?
Mauri.
Edit: I had a look at the presets from inside the Logical Editor and they showed as expected. Sorry I can't be of more help here so good luck.

Re: MIDI:Logical presets in Cubase 6
Yes looking from inside the logical editor
clicking in normally what would show "Experimental" stc....
nothing.
I created a preset and it recalls when I click in the box...if I knew where it stores them without searching ! I'd drag the other into that folder....
Also have a problem now with C6 on my back up Laptop....says "Application Can't be Started"
Geez I got clients in a few days I need the logical maybe I'll call tech support !

Re: MIDI:Logical presets in Cubase 6
Hi Terry,
I don't know if this will help you...
I did a clean install of Cubase 6 a couple of weeks ago (no earlier versions in the system) and these are the two locations the installer placed the Logical Editor presets:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Cubase 4\Presets\Logical Edit
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Cubase 5\Presets\Logical Edit
If you ask me it's a bit of a mess the way the installer places 'stuff' all over the place now
@Steiny...

Mauri.

Re: MIDI:Logical presets in Cubase 6
Its seems I have a similar problem. My midi logical editor has all the usual presets available, but the project logical editor shows only greyed out options in the menu. When I open the actual editor and try access any presets none show at all.
Win7 64bits 16 gigs ram, Motu 2408 mk3, Focusrite octopre dynamic, Fostex 24 channel mixer, Line 6 x3 live,Line 6 HD, Lots of drums and perc and mics to go with, Lots guitars/basses/keys,amps etc. Cubase 6.5.5 Halion symphonic, lots of other plugins

Re: MIDI:Logical presets in Cubase 6
Hmmm.... Mauri may be on to something with the
presets being placed in different folders.
I'll check tonight at the studio.
If so we can fix the problem without
waiting for steinberg.
Later

Re: MIDI:Logical presets in Cubase 6
We have to take into account the O/S people are using...in windows 7 there is a Logical presets folder in 2 distinct places, just not in C4 / C5 folders.but in two completely different folders at two different paths .....Ill check and post

Re: MIDI:Logical presets in Cubase 6
I am still unable to apply the logical presets.
I have located the folder: http://www.danieljslewis.com/c6/logical ... folder.png
But the "logical presets" is still grayed d out: http://www.danieljslewis.com/c6/logical ... grayed.jpg
This has long since passed the point of frustration.

Re: MIDI:Logical presets in Cubase 6
By the looks of it (I'm on Mac here, so someone may need to confirm the necessary path on PC).. the first screenshot was taken from the Program Folder, right? In fact, that isn't where Cubase reads them from.. they have to be copied into
“\Users\<user name\AppData\Roam- ing\Steinberg\Cubase 6\Presets\Logical Edit\”.
For some reason, apparently the Installer didn't do that for you automatically.

Re: MIDI:Logical presets in Cubase 6
Thanks for chiming in, folks,
I've copied the contents from:
D:\Steinberg\Cubase 6\Presets\Logical Edit
to:
\Users\<user name\AppData\Roam- ing\Steinberg\Cubase 6\Presets\Logical Edit\
The section is still grayed out. What am I missing here?
Why did Steinberg make this so complicated? It worked just fine in Cubase 4.

Are you sure that there are no traces of Cubase 4 or 5 remaining on your system?
I would be amazed if your "Clean Install" of Cubase 6 placed anything in those folders (I suspect they are there from previous versions of Cubase.. a "clean install" of Cubase 6 won't delete Cubase 5 or Cubase 4

On the other hand, it should have installed files in

Why on earth would the Cubase 6 installer create those paths?


What else is in "C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Cubase 4\" and C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Cubase 5\"?
