Title: How to change bank using Cubase Pro 9.5?
Post by: bc_uk on August 03, 2018, 10:31:19 am

Does anyone know how to automate a program change in Cubase (pro9.5)? In the Inspector tab, setting Program value from 1 to 16 changes the current patch number on the currently selected row. However, changing the Bank number does nothing. I also notice that when recording MIDI, patch changes are not recorded. My firmware is the latest (1.1.0.73). In MIDI Control Center, the Program Change Receive is set to On.

Had a similar question and Arturia Support provided the following details:

To send program changes to the MatrixBrute, it's very simple:

   -  The MSB (Bank message) will select the line/row of the preset in the Matrix.
   -  The Program Change message will select column of the preset in the Matrix.
   -  (The LSB values are not used, and will not be taken in account.)

As an example, sending program change: MSB (Bank) 5 & Program Change 12 will select E12 preset, see attached image.

UPDATED: When counting banks (lines/rows) the first row always starts at 0.  So to switch to patch A7, specify MSB 0 and PC 7.  And in original example, to switch to E12 use MSB 4 (not 5) and PC 12.  Programming values of MSB 5 & PC 12 will result in F12 patch change.
