Cubase Midi Control via SQ 5 Allen-Heath

Good morning everyone,

For about two days now, I’ve been having a problem where my SQ 5 is no longer recognized as a MIDI controller via the Mackie protocol. Before that, everything worked perfectly. In Cubase, the SQ MIDI ports are recognized and displayed as active.

When I move the SQ faders, I get a “MIDI in” activity, and when I move channel faders in Cubase, a “MIDI out” activity is displayed. What am I doing wrong?

SQ settings: General/MIDI/ – MIDI DAW Control Channel 2, MIDI Channel 1 SQ MIDI Control

driver settings:

Mixer: SQ; MIDI Channel: 2 ; Protocol: Mackie Control (Standard) Selection: MIDI Ports Input Port: SQ MIDI Output Port: SQ MIDI

My attempts so far have been:

1. Deleting and reinstalling all Mackie Control instances.

2. Updated and reinstalled the Allen Heath MIDI control driver.

3. Reinstalled the SQ firmware.

4. Updated and reinstalled Cubase 14.

I’m currently a bit stumped.

I would be very grateful for any advice.

Best regards, Bernhard Schneider
