Cubase 3.1 Score Mix track

[Smithers]

Hello all

Firstly I just wish to thank all of the great guys here for the brilliant help I have received.... especially TG and Tillek, thanks guys for helping me set up the HDD 😅👍This is such a great forum.

 

I have a query that is a bit specialist.

 

I am running Cubase Score 3.1 circa early 90's for my music sequencing. All is good apart from I cant get the mix track to work. I have downloaded the mixer modules to the Cubase folder that I set up on the HDD but it wont load in when I open the program...

Any ideas?

Thanks guys

Hey there!

 

OK, so I assume you have a Modules folder in your Cubase folder where you have placed your Modules?  If not, do this, and make sure all modules are together.

In Cubase, go to the Modules menu and select the MIDI Mixer module and select Active, and perhaps Autoload so you don't have to continually load it all of the time.  Once this is done, next to a track, track 1 for example, select the Class. i.e. click the note icon under the C (for Class) column.  Select Mix Track to amend the tracks Class to a Mix Track.  Then when you create a Part (MIDI event), you can double click in the Part and the Mixer Module will appear to allow you to use pre-defined Mixer Maps (providing you have Mixer Maps in your Cubase folder), or create your own.  The rest is on you! . Hope that helps.

Thanks 74... it is doing my head i

Tried everything and just keep getting .... module not loaded....

I know they all have to be in the same folder of the master programme . It will be something dead simple. I spent ages trying to get the HDD partitions sorted and Tillek and TG really helped me. In the end I fumbled through and it was simple. What you say makes a lot of sense, I will look at it again tomorrow when I am a bit less... err.. blah... err .. incoherent shall we say 🤣🤣

Thanks mate, really appreciated 🥰

I think that TOS is very different from the modern PC Windows operating system when it comes to file management and how to use folders and subfolders and if you have been out of the Atari loop for some time as is me then it takes time to get your head around the differerent nuances of the TOS file management system again. I hope that makes some sort of sense to you 74. Thanks mate 👍🥰

No worries by the way, hopefully it works out regarding the MIDI Mixer module, it works for me.  Yeah understand, if you haven't been around Atari and TOS for a while.  Creating Drive icons is OK once you get the hang of it, but it depends what TOS you have / use, if you haven't sorted it out yet?   

Once partitioned, you can add drive icons how you wish from the Options Menu and Install Devices. If an earlier version of TOS, then you will need to highlight a drive (say drive C or a Floppy drive), then under the Options menu select Install Disk Drive, and add how you wish, then Save Desktop under the Options menu which will save / update the desktop.inf or newdesk.inf, depending on the version of TOS, to the root of your C drive.

Thanks 74, most grateful for the advice. Yeah it is a 92 or 93 ish machine STFM I had upgraded to 4mB, so is probably an early version of the TOS. I have to highlight the drive icon as you say to get access to the options menus. I will fumble around again and I am sure I will get it sorted eventually as I did to get the HDD partitions sorted. I think the mixers are there somewhere as I got them up last night on the programme but could not connect them to the track. It will be something simple... I will consult the comprehensive guide book I have by Udo Weyers. I am not very well up on the different early versions of TOS and the one thing that is a bit annoying is that if you drag and drop then it copies the files as opposed to allowing you to just move them... bah ... so then you have to go back and delete the files from the location that you copied them from otherwise you just end up with multiple duplicate files and folders all over the place.... or am I doing something wrong? It is frustrating.

Anyway, thanks for all the help 74... really appreciated mate ... Will let you know when I get it sorted 😉👍
