Disabling white line displaying on tracks with MIDI Controller

Hello,

When using the MIDI Remote feature with a MIDI controller like Stream Deck, Cubase displays a white line on the tracks.

I understand this is the expected behavior, but is there a way to disable it without having to disconnect the MIDI controller?

Thank you very much for your help!

Hi,

No, there is no way to disable the white line. The line is very important, it informs you, which channels do you mirror on the hardware.

Depends on the hardware used, no? For an 8 fader controller, sure. A Stream Deck, perhaps not so much.

Thank you very much for your answers!

Yes, that’s exactly it!

This visual indicator would have been useful if I had faders, but I don’t have any faders on my Stream Deck, which I only use to quickly trigger functions in Cubase. So this line is more annoying than anything else!

I find it unfortunate that there’s no option to customize this indicator based on the MIDI controller. This white line has been there for ages… I remember having it with my Mackie about a decade ago!

Hi,

You have to set any kind of MixConsole Bank functions. Even buttons like Solo, Mute, Select, Record, etc. If you don’t ue the MixConsole Banks, this line doesn’t appear.

Not sure about this, Martin, at least I cannot replicate this behavior here, neither by scripting nor by using the assistant. (0.41)

Hi,

Does it mean, if you add just the Transport commands, you get the white line?

The Zone Bank length decides, how many channels are marked white. So there must be a Mixer Bank. Or am I missing something?

Exactly, or at least, this is how it was supposed to work. Let’s examine three cases:

  • No mixerBankZone setup. What we get is the default 8 tracks’ bank zone.

  • Intentionally creating a mixerBankZone with no channels added. We can even add all the “exclude” options, just to be sure. Again, the number defaults to 8.

  • Creating a mixerBankZone with less than 8 tracks per bank. Again, the zone defaults to the 8, BUT in a not consistent manner. If we now begin to move around the banks, we’ll notice some strange things, out of the scope of this thread I think.

Hi,

Thank you, I haven’t realised this.

I briefly used X Touch one controller but didn’t like it and removed it. Unfortunately the white bank lines are still there even though Behringer X Touch unplugged.
Can I get rid of those lines?
Any advice appreciated - thanks MK

Hi,

Remove the MIDI Remote Device (or the component), you were using in the Studio > Studio Setup.

Do I really have to look at these lines forever now, just because I connected a simple MIDI controller and dared to configure MIDI Remote for it?
Lines that displays absolute nothing in this case!
Even if I don’t use any of the MixConsole bank functions and never intend to?

Please tell me that upgrading to Cubase 15 will help. Or even in 15th one will have to use legacy Remote Devices set up?

Hi,

The line showing which track you control with the hardware is (luckyli) still available.

Actually 8 lines marking 8 tracks from some random console bank I never use.

I even set up “Mixer bank zone“ to 1 in the Mapping Assistant, but that changed nothing.

What is really lucky, that hardware knobs operate exactly configured controls of one selected track and not the other seven, marked with white lines.

Hi,

If there is no Mixer Bank Zone at all, there are no white lines.

I have 8 mapped knobs to quick controls of single one selected track, but nevertheless it still shows bank of 8 tracks with corresponding white marks (Cubase 14.0.40).

Remade it everything anew and, please note, it shows bank of 8 tracks already, even before any mapping done.
