Hi folks. I’ve been having an issue with Divisimate 2 that we’ve determined seems to be a Cubase 14.0.20 problem. I’m on a MacPro running 14.7.3.
I have a massive template with most of my orchestral tracks having their MIDI inputs set to a Divisimate port and channel input. I spend most of my working time with Divisimate bypassed so I can work normally, and then when it’s time to do some divisi writing I enable it, track my parts, then bypass again. It’s been working fine for quite some time, until the 14.0.20 update. Since then, if I have Divisimate enabled and a voice routed to my track, it works fine, but when I bypass it I get MIDI from all MIDI channels, ending up with 16 copies of each note. All of my settings for both Divisimate and in the Cubase Studio Setup window are the same, and it’s a template that I’ve used forever.
After much trial and error, I found that if I change either the MIDI input port or channel to anything, then change it back, it works as expected, and I have no problems with duplicate notes. However, if I close and reopen the Cubase project, the problem reappears and I have to reassign the MIDI input again. If I create a new track everything’s fine, but in that case I’m assigning the MIDI input from scratch, so that makes a little sense.
I spoke to the Divisimate folks, they thought it might be a Cubase thing and suggested I roll back to 14.0.10 to see if that made a difference. I did, and it did, everything is working as normal.
Not sure where the problem is coming from, and ideally it’s something I’d like to figure out, but in the meantime 14.0.10 seems to be an okay workaround.
