I recently migrated from Sonar to Cubase and I'm having some difficulty changing a channel from stereo to mono. I use Fxpansion's Tremor for drums a lot and I always have my kick in mono. It was easy to change in Sonar by clicking the Interleave button in the track inspector.
However, in Cubase when I create an instance of Tremor with all available outputs enabled, it automatically creates 8 Stereo channels with no option to designate any of them as mono. I'd like to specify which ones are stereo and mono, either as I'm creating the instance of Tremor, or after the fact. Does anyone know how to do this? I feel like there's some option buried somewhere...
I could route the stereo kick to my mono kick bus, but I'm not sure that's going to do the trick and doesn't seem exactly proper; I'd rather have the kick mono the entire time.

Ok. I don't have Tremor so I couldn't check it.
FXpansion BFD3 outputs, for example, this: So the thing is, and I cannot deny this by anything in the manual at this writing, I believe Cubase depends on what the instrument gives it for its instrument channels. I'm fairly sure there is no way otherwise, except to reroute them to mono Group Channels and so forth. If that instrument does not specifically output mono channels from its mixer, I would use the Stereo Combined Panner to just narrow the field of the Instrument Channel outputs to next-to-nothing. But Tremor may provide mono by some function in it. This I got from telling BFD3 to output mixer channels for mixdown.

Thank you for the quick response! Looks like I'll be routing the kick or anything else I need to a mono group buss as you mentioned (or channel as Cubase likes to call it) for now. Just tested it and it sounds pretty good. I think I was just worried about weird phase issues by taking a stereo signals and then summing them in a mono buss, but it seems to work fine.

If you change panner to a combined panner you can narrow the stereo image down to mono (or anything in between).
