Original Message 1/8 17-Aug-07 @ 02:51 PM - How to Copy VST Animation in Cubase
Bit of a daft question, but how can I copy a vst animation track in Cubase VST (v1) from one project to another?
I'm sure I've done it before but I just can't remember how.
Had some natty swoops and pitch bending going on with a Reaktor guitar, then had a go at adding a pan to the vst, and so mucked up the scaling somehow
. I tried to reshape the animation to fit but nothing would work. Eventually found an extra voice on the vst that was causing the problem, but now I've changed the animation
the track doesn't work anymore. I've a backup of the Cubase project with the vst animation, so I need to copy this and paste it over the corresponding track in the current project version.

you should be able to lasso the controller data and copy it, i'd have to install an old copy of vst to try it tbh cos i cant remember,
Sox who pops in here from time to time would probably remember cos he used vst so much in the past and at college where he was teaching it to tech noobs whereas i shifted over to logic quite early in vst's lifecycle so cant remember

I mean the VST Instrument Automation track (not the controllers that drop down from the midi track).
I've tried copying the controller events, but they only paste in the same project -- When I call up a new project there's something on the clipboard but it won't paste.
Can't copy and paste the whole track either.
The book I've got is for SX2, and doesn't say. I'll have to have a read of the pdf manual I suppose
Annoying thing is I'm damn sure I've done it a few years ago. Age a creepin'. Just can't stay focused anymore. Anyway, as usual, I'd appreciate thoughts from anyone who can suggest what might be causing the oil to flow out of the tail pipe.

So this remains current. If anyone knows how to copy VST animation from one project to another in SX(1) then please post!

first i created some automation data for nepheton, lasso'd it with the arrow tool - then EDIT/GROUP to group the nodes together
ok, then create a spare audio track
to drag/copy controller data hold down SHIFT/ALT and then drag/drop
so drag-drop the automation data from the VSTi controller lane to the Audio track VOUME lane (first child below audio track when opened out)
ok now we have a copy of the controller lane data for the vsti on the dummy audio track VOLUME controller-lane
ok now open the new song... they should open together, and each has a little icon on the top/left which is the ACTIVATE icon - only one song can be active
ok... activate the new song and create a dummy audio track - open it's VOLUME controller lane below
Now, RE-activate the other song from which you want to copy the data - lasso the COPY of the controller data on the AUDIO track & EDIT/COPY
Now, activate the other song - select the audio track VOLUME controller lane - EDIT/PASTE
YAHOO!!!!
NOW you can lasso the controller data added to the new song in the audio-track controller lane and drag it to the automation lane of the required vst-instrument - make sure to select the required controller in the vsti lane BEFORE dragging it across and dropping it into the vsti lane
sorted!!

Sorry for taking so long to respond, but I've been having a holiday in Grenada.
Excellent instructions. Thanks very much. In SX(1) there's no edit/group, but a range cursor. Otherwise it was spot on. Really, I'm dead chuffed to arrive home and get those vst guitars back as they were before I went a meddlin'.
I've lost my SX2 key and even though I'm registered I can't replace it. I think I preferred SX anyway; didn't get along with the effect return channels in SX2. Though several VSTs don't work in SX that did in SX2...bah.
Is it easier to copy VST controller data from project to project in the current Cubase?
Once again, you're a splendid fellow and all hail and praise to DT.
