How to use multiple outputs from one midi effect? Eg. BounceBud or similar?

Darkstring

It could be any midi generator that has multiple outs. So it’s really a general question, but here goes..

I am trying to use BounceBud (BB) loaded as a midi effect on a track in Cubasis. Notes that hit the top wall in BB play just fine when loaded as a midi effect, but not from the right, left and bottom walls.
In AUM’s midi routing every wall in BB shows as having its own midi out, which is easy to route to the same instrument. But in Cubasis, the midi routing seems much more basic, or at least I cannot figure it out. Is there a simple way to get the same result in Cubasis as in AUM, with all four walls sending notes to the instrument track where BB is hosted?

Alrighty, I found a workaround when having multiple outputs from a midi effect that Cubasis either cannot see or somehow cannot work with.

Basically, create a dummy track, add desired midi effect to the track - and then add a Midi Bus afterwards. For more midi effects, add them and more Midi Busses as needed.

Each Midi Bus should follow right after the effect it needs to send. On each bus choose “Send Pre” and then a unique bus number.

On each actual instrument track, you then add a Midi Bus that receives from the desired bus number.

Somehow, when passed through the Midi Bus plugin, and thus bypassing Cubasis’ own routing, everything works as it should. It’s just a pain to remember later which effect goes where, since the amount of organization is limited.
Of course, one could create a dummy track for each midi effect that needs routing and then simply keep it on top of the associated instrument track.
Unfortunately, Cubasis does not provide folding groups, which would have helped a lot.

Anyone have a better suggestion for solving the issue?

I don’t think there is currently a better solution. Cubasis could do with some improved routing adding next, and collapsing folders would be very welcome.
