IntroductionCubasis VSTcomes with a number of VST Plug-in effects included.This chapter describes the included effects parameters. For generaldetails about how to assign and set up effects, see page 202.About VST 2.0Version 2.0 of the VST plug-in standard allows plug-ins to receiveMIDI from the host application (in this case, Cubasis VST). Possibleuses for this feature include tempo-based delays, MIDI control ofpitch-shifters and harmonizers, etc.• MIDI Timing information is automatically provided to VST 2.0 plug-insthat “requests it”.Tempo Sync basicsSeveral of the new VST Plug-in effects can be synchronized to thesong tempo in Cubasis VST. In the control panels for the effect, younormally set up tempo sync by specifying a base note value and amultiplier. The resulting timing interval is the base note value multipliedwith the multiplier value. For example, if you set the base notevalue to 1/16 (a sixteenth note) and the multiplier to 3, the resultingtiming is 3/16. In the case of a delay effect, this means the interval betweeneach delay repeat will be three sixteenth notes.CUBASIS VST14 – 226 The included VST Effects
