Having just upgraded from Cubasis 5.0 to Cubase SE, I can't seem to drag and drop midi files from an instrument into the sequencer.

Is this feature not available in SE?

It's a bit of a pain in the arse to workaround when you're as indecisive as me. I might switch back to Cubasis.

I've tried drag and drop from Stylus RMX, RMIV and PhatmatikPro and none of them work.

:help:

If I remember rightly, this was a bug in Cubase SZ 1 , which was fixed in version 2.

Unfortunately, I think SE is based on SX1 :(

I wish it was fixed in version 2. It's 'supposed' to work in SX 3.

:lol: yet it works in Cubasis 5.0 (and 4.0 if I remember correctly...). Ho hum, I can work in tandem I guess - I know I can import Cubasis tracks so I'll survive.

I only use Stylus RMX which uses the drag n drop feature and as I only use about 3 MIDI files pr. tune I am not bothered about it. Drag the MIDI file to your folder on e.g the desktop and then import it in cubase SE. Bang, takes 30 sec.

Cypher, I know you make your tunes fast, but 30 sec. ain't gonna make that much difference is it :P

Of course if you use 20 or 30 MIDI files pr. track I can see the problem. :o

no, I don't use lots of midi files and I know how to workaround it. It just feels like a step backwards having been used to this in Cubasis. I'm more surprised given that Cubase is supposed to be more advanced that Cubasis. That's all :)

ok, that makes sense.
It was just that "I might switch back to cubasis" in your first post that I thought was a bit dramatic. Like, the ashtray broke off in my BMW, I'm gonna drive my old Ford Escort now :P

Cubase SE does seem a bit less user friendly. I've even had the manual out a couple of times :-o

Everything seems to be one more click away than it was in Cubasis.

I'm sure I'll get used to it.
