I'm finally learning how to use this - 2 years later. Your tutorials are always excellent educationally and fun to watch. If only everybody had as much fun at their job as you do! Cheers.
I enjoy every video you upload. I have learned so many things from you. In my opinion, your channel is the best live Cubase encyclopedia. And your videos are always great! Thank you, Dom!
I agree. I have learned alot just by making music myself, but the Dom showed up and has so many tips and tricks that makes production ten times easier, love it!
Yes! Me too!!!!!!!!!!
I'm into prog rock, and keyboard soloing seems like a doodle with such a process! Thanks, as ever.
Although I'm a keyboard player, I still find great use for step input. My workflow for this is: My qwerty numerical keyboard key commands are used for quantise values.1=whole note, 2=half note etc...Then, left hand for note input, right hand for changing note values. Also, by using the qwerty arrow keys (right and left), I can also input rests. This can mean working quickly on the fly. I think it's a great tool and has many uses. Also, Dom thanks for all your videos and tips...They are terrific and there is always something new for me to pick up...👍👍👍
how come I never looked for a step input mode in a DAW? this is a life changer and saves sooo much time. thanks!
Thank you for an excellent video - from Israel
You're the best, Dom!
U r one of the best, dom. I’m very thankful
Your tutorials are amazingly useful. I grow every time I see one.
It's nice to be reassured that every time I need to find out something Dom is there. In my opinion your the Godfather of Cubase. Thanks
That is pretty cool, i discovered the "Step" by trying out different things, it is very useful! :)
00:39 DOM’s laugh is so satisfying!😂
TNX that is realy Great for me as non Keyboard Player to bring my ideas to MIDI
Thank you Dom.
This is an awesome feature to have. Thanks Dom for your ongoing amazing videos.
Maybe Dom forgot to tell something for the part at 8'17. To replace the note you need to swicth from "midi input mode" to "midi mode"
Amazing Dom, I had no idea! This feature is realy dope. Thank you!
love the video crazyness kicking in at the same time, double fun !
Absolutely what I wanted! Thanks. Perfect.
The most practical and useful videos, you're the best Dom!
You sir are a gift...thank you for all you do
I use it. Very useful. I switch quantization to get different notes. It's wonderful.
Watching you work is so inspiring!
This will be extremely helpful for an amateur like me!
Always fun and interesting ! Thanks a lot Dom
Keep them coming Dom! loving the videos about the less used features in Cubase. Thank you for teaching us.
Dom, as always thank you so much for the great content :)
Yep, I've used step input for many years, going back to synth workstations in the mid to late 90s. There weren't as sophisticated as Cubase is now of course but for the meager keyboard players it's a must use tool. As for how I use it, I use it a lot to figure out what chords to play and how I want to voice them, by turning step input on, hitting my next chord, turning it off and then figuring out my next couple of chords and turning step input on and playing them in, rinse and repeat. I don't always do it that way but it's something I do often. I guess mainly I use step input to get started because even with a click playing, my timing is awful. So I'll step input a couple of tracks to be the foundation for the piece and then play along with those and quantize the tracks I input by hand. That way there is some tracks the feel a bit more human and some are locked in to the grid.
Excellent video, thanks Dom!
That’s nice! Thank you!
helping me learn everyday
Extraordinario tutorial. Muchas gracias y un fuerte abrazo.
I have been using step input since Cubase XP. It's also useful to programme runs that string ensembles do as a build up to a chorus.
Very helpful Dom, Thank you.
Hooraay for Dom and his great videos! 😉
Great mantra - Tq❤
Dom always surprises🙌
Amazing!!!! More videos like this !
My man Dom aka Cubase Commander aka Lord of Retrologue has done it again. The best.
Amazing. Thanks. ☺️
Knew about Step Input. Never used it. Will use it now though :)
Another great video Dom, very informative, many thanks.
You are changing life of lots of people ... Thank you. Lots of love from Nepal.
Amazing stuff as always ♥️
Fantastic 😎 i Will explore this more. Thanks for sharing
This is as dope as the Scale lock in Cubase 11, which no other DAW ever has ! SLICK as usual & Praise your talent as always Dom... God Bless & Cheers.. !
Super Dom, using it all these years
Great again, Dom. You are always showing me interesting things of Cubase that I did not know. Thanks.
loved it solved me a current problem
I am using this feature forever, cant believe there are people overlooking it... if you have any midi controller, you should exploit power of midi input in every Cubase/Nuendo editor. Typically, I was using this long before chord tracks etc for fixing off key notes that would slip in during the recording, and also, for messing up with drum elements - any of the different drums spread across the piano roll. Midi input is super awesome feature, turning piano roll into step sequencer kinda.
Finally I realized the benefit of step input. Thanks so much I'll try it next time I need one!
Thank you
Yes really good news. Because I had a problem with the Midi Inserts and you Dom save the time! But in the opposite way. Normally I don't use the function for MIDI-Inserts. But sometime in the past I did something in the Midi Editor and I activate the Midi Insert but I forgot to remember me and at this time I had this problem when I marked a midi step in the editor and after that I hit the keyboard controller it will change the Midi note and I was sooo angry because I don't want it. Now I found the key to fix the problem! ;-) Thanks a lot.
Dude you’re a godsend.
Thank you for the great tutorial and well done
You are absolutely genius in your workflow in cubase. I never knew these midi techniques. You are simply amazing. Hats off to you sir. 🤟
Thanks 🙏
love this! Will definitely use this to make custom arpegii ! thanks!!
Awesome! And a really inspiring video! :D
You just saved my life, Dom!!! thanx for all this tips :)
Wow! I’ve been looking for many many years how to Insert a note and... EUREKA!! Amasing DoM[ajor]
I used to use this all the time for 303 lines back in the 90s. Good times.
Thnx for this learning event!!;)
ONLLLLLLLLY Cubase pioneered this DAW feature. Been in Cubase for agggggges, other DAWSS ??? 😄😄
I knew it, but I only used it for the first time the year before last when I covered "Lay all your love on me". Amazing feature.
Great feature!!!! Love it! (Never used it before)
Life savior 🔥🎉💯❤️❤️
All days i see one video from you; And BAM !!! il level up my skills so easely ! just ouawwww thank you guy ;)
Ill definitely give this a try tomorrow. Cheers dom. 🎚🎛🎹💥
Supa Nice 👍 That was one more smart thing I learnt. To be saved ✅
Thanks Dom.
That saved me a lot of manual reading.
Very nice tutorial!!!
Thanks! 😀👍
Danke!
I have been rocking Cubase since Cubase 5 lol I have never used this or seen this. And now I will be an arp master
There really is no reason to try any other daw at this point. Cubase is truly a beast of a program
Hooraay for Retrologue :D
Dom makes the best Cubase face.
I'm guilty! I didn't know much about the Step Input....now I'm going to have to write some music just to play with it. Thank you!!
Sounds good bro
I knew that it existed, but i did not use it until now. This demo convinced me to try it, especially changing pitch while keeping rythm looks very useful for extremely fast parts. Just play the rythm first and then add the correct pitches afterwards... this might save me some time;-)
I tried to use MIDI-inpt for tuning the vocals in vari audio. It's Very useful.
great
Wow. I always wished for a perfect balance of tight, equal length sequencer style input with the editing features of piano roll and it was there all the time!
Can you input rests (empty) notes and ties (joined notes), if so I can die happy! 😊
I knew about it, but never really used it, but maybe Your Video change this now : )
👀👀🤯👀👀🙌🏼
I use it to create actual custom Arps that I then drag into the "Arpache SX " sequence" tab and, viola, you have a custom playable Arpeggiator created from the step sequence.
You have to right click in the Arpache SX window and choose "Always On Top" so that it doesn't hide before you drag in the midi part into it!
One hand on the controller for pitch, and one hand on the LR arrow keys for rhythm (If you know the right beat count of your note). This especially helps me when I'm transcribing Music sheet to MIDI.
Dum is as amazing as the softwares he use !
I use the pencil tool in the midi and drum editors. Then copy and paste the notes to more bars. Then I tweak the vertical velocity indicators to "humanise" as much as possible. But it is a long drawn process.
What would i do without you Dom.
You make this look better than it is because your composition is so good 😂
9:48 yeaah wellll.........
Here i am searching for a sequencer where i can "ratchet"...
Click on this Video...
I do not need such a thing, i can do this with Step/Midi Input, switching between 1/16 1/32 or 1/64.
Very nice....
It allows you to punch things in in machine gun rapid fire means. Used to punch in drum programming in these means, start off robotic & if so desired go back & humanise. It's very much the methodology of the hardware sequencers used from programming, it is tactile, so assists pragmatically, in a sense of work happening.
I think step imput exist at first cubase ever. :-) - for me it was always distracting that the main cursor and the blue one are different… and never used it.
but from time to time i used more often…
DOM, IF YOU READ THIS, PLEASE DO A COMPARISON OF SCALER 2 AND CUBASE (and the Step/MIDI input, scale assistant and chord pads functions). I'm sure many would like to see how Cubase compares with today's number one "music theory workstation".
Step/MIDI input, scale assistant and chord pads introduce Cubase to a whole new market. It's always been designed for people that are trained or experienced in the music production process, especially those with experience from the analog days. So while newer DAWs like FL revolutionized workflow and offered an entirely different approach to making music (Fruity Loops was designed by a video game programmer) which made them more appealing to a younger market of gamers who had no musical training and only used a mouse and keyboard, older DAWs Cubase have always been the musician's DAW. What I like about the introduction of these new tools that they now give Cubase an educational edge above the rest. You may not be to play but with continued use of these tools you will definitely pick up some music theory and improve dexterity because they encourage you to actually play an instrument (midi keyboard controller) instead of relying solely on a computer keyboard and mouse.
Use it for fast string runs
Can you make a detailed video on squasher ?😍😍😍
Here you go : th-cam.com/video/mw2YSU_5lok/w-d-xo.html
I know it. I use it for "runs" for strings and wood.
Thanks!! You forgot to tell how set the length/duration of notes :-)
Dom, I would like to know how you will input irregular groupings of notes, like 5, 7, 9, 11 sixteenth note groupings per beat? In Logic's step input, it is so easy. But in Cubase I cannot see how it is done.
Hey Dom and thanks for another great video. I'd like to ask you a question you might already have been asked. Google says you are from the UK but... The way you pronounce the words sounds kind of Spanish so, are you actually from the UK or not?
Originally I am from Athens, Greece but I am both Greek and British citizen :)
@@DomSigalas DOM MILAS ELLINIKA?!?!?! O AGAPIMENOS MOY YTBER EINAI APO TIN ELLADA DLD? KAI GIATI SE VGALANE "DOM"? VGAINEI APO KAPOU?
Hi Dom, I LOOOOVE your videos. Is there a way to go from a sequence of 8th notes to 16th notes and BOOM (to use your language) to compress them closer to one another? Now when I am composing on the wrote I draw them with the step editor when I have no keyboard but when I need them to play faster notes and I have drawn them as 4th or 8th notes I need to drag each one of them close to the previous note, is there a cool "hack" to do this quickly please?
