Here is a screenshot of Cubase project window, minimized at the bottom, to leave some space for the midi remote window underneath. The strip compressor is activated, and at the bottom the first label line is the encoders assignments and the second faders.
Of-course what we see here is artificially created.
The problem is that these auto-generated descriptions are attached to surface elements. So, if I am not mistaken, I can not make any adjustments, like place them where ever I want (only the label field I mean), or making them bigger.
And here are my thoughts:
I would like to create labels for encoders and faders and place them at the bottom of my midi remote surface. Then I can expose these by minimazing the project window, so I could easily read what function each controller handles.
Like having a real-time updated viewer.
I 've made a script “stealing” pieces of code from here and there. I do not know much about it, pretty basic stuff and it is a slow procedure for me .
Is there a way to achieve this by scripting?
We can always create labels, however they will not host the parameter display values, which is what you want.
However, we can just have knobs and they’re labelled properly.
Here’s a screenshot, which gets close to what you want:
What I did here is to set the project window size properly, and then have the midi remote window at the bottom. We can even save this window configuration as a global workspace so that upon creating a new project they should be arranged properly again.
Thank you. That was exactly my starting point and then I asked my self if I can make this label independently. Maybe I should raise it as a feature request.
I’ve done this in the past but by creating an external utility for receiving sysex messages from the remote. The idea was to place a display on my midi controller, so that I can always know the parameters assigned.
Here’s a picture from an older post of mine, where we can see the midi remote talking to my app which updates labels accordingly.
Later, I abandoned this project. The reason is I realised I already knew which knob/fader/button does what in my VSTs, especially after having rearranged parameters using the Remote Control Editor. Still, I totally respect your request.
