How to use GP Relayer with Cubase

How to send MIDI from Gig Performer to Cubase


This procedure is tested with Cubase 13.

On the MIDI side, the Cubase setup for recording is simpler, but quirky. You only need two tracks, but one of the tracks is an audio track even though you are recording MIDI !

The reason is that the GP Relayer VST3 plugin is, by type, an audio plugin (even though it can handle either audio or MIDI). As an audio plugin, it can only be applied to an audio track in Cubase.

Hence the requirement is to place the GP Relayer on an audio track, after which the MIDI output of the plugin can be seen and used as MIDI input to the 2nd track where you will actually record.

Below I show the two tracks in folder (titled ‘GPR MIDI Group 01’) together to make their association plain.
