Cubase 15 - Color Scheme Midi Editor CC Lanes Contrast Weird?

[Dillon_DeRosa]

Hi,

Updating to Cubase 15, my colors got reset. No problem, I copied the values manually from 14 to 15, however, I noticed now the CC lanes contrast is way off. Seems trying to edit the grid lines, or anything doesn’t help. Using a white background like I’ve been using since Cubase 8, the cc lanes now in Cubase 15 is hard to read and can’t make them darker and visible.

Here is cubase 15:

And here is Cubase 14:

I agree, this is a really bad change. I also use a lighter theme and can’t see any of my MIDI automation curves now in the key editor.

Lots of questionable changes to colours, imo. Cycle region, for example, but there are lots of examples.

Same here. I still use C14 most of time just because of that until they fix it (IF they fix it)

They told me in version 15.0.5 that they had logged this issue and would fix it in the next update. Today, version 15.0.6 was released—yet the problem remains. I initially thought it might be due to having multiple versions of Cubase coexisting on my computer, but after checking the release notes, I found no mention of this issue at all—neither in the list of resolved items nor in the known issues.

I’m really disappointed. Extremely, deeply disappointed.

C15 Colour of controller lane data in Key editor does not adapt to editor background

Hi all, Not sure if I’m missing a new preference or this is a bug, but like many I prefer the key editor background to be white, rather than than the deep black void of the default setting. In previous versions, the controller data and curves automatically changes colour to from white to black when going past some threshold. This is no longer happening, so the controller data is white on a white background. Is there a pref I’ve missed or is this a bug? It’s now almost impossible to see and giv…

Cubase 15 Key Editor Light Background Controller Lane Visibility Issue

In Cubase 14, when the key editor is set to a custom light background color, the controller lane data shows as a darker shade to contrast well against the background. However in Cubase 15, the controller lane data is shown with a light, almost identical color to the background, causing contrast visibility issues and making the CC data difficult to see. This happens in both the lower zone key editor and separate key editor window. Attached screenshots for both Cubase 14 and Cubase 15 for compar…

They know, but they’re pretending they don’t.

yes it’s very difficult to see. I can’t believe it’s so light, almost non existent! I’m working on the sustain pedal right now and I have no idea when it’s up or down.

The colors are so FUBAR’d in 15 that I went back to 14. I highly doubt it’ll get fixed.

(There are about 100 items in Cubase development that I could point to as needing work. The system for picking colors in the interface didn’t need work at all. For me, it was perfect. So, I don’t understand why they screwed this up, or how so many people looked at it and thought it was a good idea. Reminds me of when Cakewalk was moving towards being touch screen capable, so that might be the future for Cubase? I don’t really care. I just want the ability to adjust my colors as it was before.)
