How do you guys write midi sequences? Note editors? Playing it in? Also....if your playing is a bit sloppy...or its complicated....do you have to use a high quantisize value (i.e. 1/12? Also, lets say youve made a short midi bass sequence....how do you loop it? Such noobi questions I know....but these are my main concerns just at the minute

Just dive in there mate!

But make sure you have a decent MIDI interface, and updated drivers etc.

What MIDI gear will you be hooking up? What version of cubase you using???

Looping MIDI in cubase is the same as looping with audio. It is piss easy.

Dont know about books though... I've never used any, just got stuck in and experimented

Good luck!

P.S I always play my sequences. I hardly ever use quantize, I try to treat it as a performance, and may have to adjust some notes if they are way off, but prefer to play it again to capture performance. Otherwise it sounds too "perfect".

My use of MIDI is pretty simple, just the way I like it.
