hi I was trying to use my Roli Lightpad Block with Cubasis. But wasn’t able to connect and make it appear as a selectable input device. Was no Problem in Garage Band. The I just had to enable support for MPE controllers,activate Bluetooth on my iPad and then the device would show up. Anyone here knows how to do that in Cubasis? Telebeat ---

Update: must have been blind to not see the MIDI setup. Got the Lightpad Block connected and it shows as connected. But now I can play on the Lightpad Block as much as I want, no sounds are triggered. Noise is loaded as an AU instrument, the track is armed. Routing input is set to the Lightpad Block. Hmmm… ---

Hi Lars Could it be that it is simply caused by Cubasis not being ready for MPE? I did not manage to get any sounds playing with my Lightpad Block. Everything works fine with my MIDI keyboard iRigPro. ---

So, I guess MPE is a feature that is intended to work with ROLI controllers in the not to far future. Would be cool to use it in my Cubasis projects. ---

I installed the new Cubasis version. I did not manage to make my Lightpad Block triggering a note. I am not sure what I need to do. Wait until the issue was a resolved? Is the issue that I do it wrong? Should it be working? Is this just an issue with my setup and it works for others? Do you need more info so that you can help me? ---

I am still not sure whether the answer meant that it is not working at all or if it depends on the individual setup. I would appreciate an answer. ---

This worked fine until I updated the firmware on my roli block to the latest firmware, now I can hear the roli sounds in Cubasis in the keyboard but my block no longer triggers the sounds even though I am connected via Bluetooth.
