The Sirius and Cubase
116
When Cubase is set as in the above illustration, you can start recording.
Recording Sirius-Pattern and -Songs into an external sequencer:
To record patterns of the Sirius with Cubase it is first of all important that you synchronise both de-
vices to each other. This is best done by selecting the Sirius as Master like we did in our previous ex-
ample. Cubase is the Slave again. If the synchronisation works as in our previous example you will
only have to make one setting for the Sirius. Open page 4 of the System-edit-menu and set the Pa-
rameter "Local" to "OFF". The menu-page should now look as follows:
In this mode, note and MIDI-controller information which the sequencer of the Sirius creates is not
being sent directly to the internal synthesizer of the Sirius. The Data is now being sent directly to the
MIDI-OUT-socket of the Sirius and into your computer and is being 'housed' within the computer.
The data can then return to the Sirius through the MIDI-OUT socket of the Computer. So make sure
that the MIDI-OUT-socket of the Computer is connected to the MIDI-IN-socket of the Sirius - other-
wise you will not be able to hear anything.
The Cubase is receiving and sending MIDI data when you can see the MIDI activity indicator in the
transport window is active (Atari) or lit (PC and Mac).
If everything works you can start your recording. First create a Part which corresponds in length to
the pattern you want to record. For the MIDI-channel of this Part select the setting “All”, "Any" or
"OM" (depending on your sequencer programme). When your settings look like the following in
Cubase, then you have done the right thing.
