Cubase 14.0.40 Maintenance Update

As written in the other post, that is a good (and even better) workaround for my workflow. You saved my day!

Unfortunately, the Cubase update 14.0.40 deletes the contents of some MIDI Remote mapping files (*_globalmappings.json) in the directory ā€œ%userprofile%\Documents\Steinberg\Cubase\MIDI Remote\User Settingsā€.

Luckily, I had a backup of this directory, allowing me to resolve the issue as follows:

  1. Close Cubase
  2. Replace the corrupted ā€œ*_globalmappings.jsonā€ files in the directory ā€œ%userprofile%\Documents\Steinberg\Cubase\MIDI Remote\User Settingsā€ with the backup copies.
  3. Start Cubase.

It would be great if the Cubase team would test the next update more thoroughly. Bugs like this cost customers a lot of time and frustration!

When I updated to 14.0.40 all my MIDI REMOTE scripts stopped working.

Fortunately, I always back up my scripts (they take a long time to build) so I simply pasted my back-up scripts into the remote folder in Documents and everything was sorted out.

Do you have script back-ups?

EDIT - I see a similar answer above.

Moto of this story …. always back-up user created files of every type!

in v15 it’s the same thing…

I’m noticing the issue doesn’t remain fixed and I’m having to copy the MIDI Remote folder over from my back-up to bring my scripts back.

I guess now 15 is out this will never be fixed for 14.

Hopefully they will fix it for 15 - I’m not going to update to 15 until this issue is resolved.

I had a new Audio PC built over Christmas. The one I had Cubase on started to get issues and it turns out it was the Processor.

I’ve installed 14 Pro on the new PC (AMD Ryzen 9 9900X 12-Core) and it’s running very smooth. A lot of my previous issues were no doubt caused by the slowly failing CPU.
