no surround panning for midi in Cubase sx 3?

There isn't a midi controller code specifically for surround, but some synths may have implemented a sys ex or multiple cc assignment for surround panning.



In SX, you can automate surround at the softsynth's audio outputs in the audio mixer though, just as you would for any audio track.

thanks, Reuben

It means that midi is not audio. Convert the midi track to audio and you can pan to taste in the 5.1 field.
