I am using Cubase to edit MIDI tracks which I then put on a flash drive and load into a Pattern I am building. The MIDI files have names like Scene 1.mid, etc. My problem is that every time I load a Scene with a new MIDI file, the entire Pattern gets renamed to the name of the MIDI file.

This is a nuisance. Is it possible to have this not happen?

I know what you mean. The first time you run into this it’s seems annoying, but remember, all the Scenes go into one Pattern. Each of the 128 Patterns can have 8 Scenes, but together a set of 8 Scenes make a single Pattern…

Had you named the Pattern the title of the composition, for example, “Yesterday”… since all of the Scenes go to make the one composition, it starts to make sense…

The number that you added afterward, to simply help you remember how many of them you have transferred, is going to update the Name to the most recently transferred (loaded).

If “Yesterday 8” winds up in Scene #7 you’ll know you skipped one.
When all the Scenes have been transferred, simply rename the Pattern - without the reference number.

A Pattern has 8 sections (Scenes) but they all share the same Performance, the same NAME and the same TEMPO.
