in previous Cubase versions one could copy a MIDI event/part, then close the project, open an other project and paste this MIDI event/part (from clipboard). this was essential for my workflow.

in Cubase 12 this doesnt work. the clipboard seems to get purged after opening a new project. the strange thing is that this happens only for certain projects i open, for some projects the clipboard will still hold the copied MIDI event, so maybe this might be a project setting issue? if so which setting is it?

my workaround for now is: after opening a new project i open the project i wanna paste the MIDI from and keep it (inactive) in the background. then pasting will work fine for any project. sadly this workaround takes me 5 times more time than if i could simply paste from clipboard all the time (without having to copy again) since i paste the same MIDI event into 30 different projects on a regular basis, as a part of my workflow.

so pls let me know if u might know how to fix this, so pasting MIDI will work in any newly opened project without having to copy the MIDI event again.

 

Strange but over here it works just fine. The copied midi part remains on the clipboard after closing the project. Perhaps you have some Windows or MAC clipboard issues?

 

you can import midi file, by importing from that project you made a midi.
Maybe it also has to do with admin rights? Is Cubase running as administrator?

 

Yeah, It is most likely because of administration permission issues
