Click "Project" menu  "Add Track"  "Audio"  [Add Track]. 3 In this new Audio track, set the Input/Output destinations for the MX49/MX61. Set the Input Routing to "Stereo In," and set the Output Routing to "Stereo Out." NOTE "Stereo In" and "Stereo Out" are the bus names set on the VST Connection window which is called up from the "Device" menu. If you've added other bus names on the VST Connection window, make sure to set the routings to the appropriate bus names. 4 Using all MIDI data that was recorded to the Project, record the MX49/MX61 sound to Cubase as audio data. After setting the time position to zero, click (Record). The MIDI data of all tracks will be played back to record the data to the Audio track. When the MIDI data reaches the end, click (Stop) to stop recording. 5 After muting all tracks in the Project window on Cubase (except the new Audio track), check the recorded audio data by playing the Audio track.
