CC121 Fader - hardwired to volume?

[Martin.Jirsak]

Hi,

@BluntInstrument

Could you not use the AI button for this function?

Yes, you can use AI Knob for this.

I have found out that the CC121 fader actually sends pitchbend messages. The effective resolution of this fader is 1024 values which is quite fine. Therefore, the workaround for using the CC121 controller to control other parameters than the volume is to use another application (Plogue Bidule, for instance), a virtual MIDI cable, and Generic Remote within Cubase. In Bidule you can transform the incoming pitchbend messages to any CC event you wish, then you send them via the virtual MIDI cable into Cubase, and there you can use the Generic Remote setting to control an arbitrary Cubase parameter.

The problem here is, you would need to remove CC121 from Cubase. Otherwise you would always control the Volume by moving the fader. Cubase assign CC121 automatically during every single start. So you would need to remove it anytime you start Cubase again and again.
